UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology bought a comprehensive branding package for the Government Cyber Profession. The requirement covers creative strategy and development, including advertising and marketing services; the procurement also classifies radio and television services. It is a focused branding assignment for a government cyber profession rather than a general technology or cyber-security delivery contract. The buying organisation is a central government department based in London. The supplied information does not identify a separate delivery location, so the work should be understood by its purpose and buyer rather than an assumed place of performance.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to FCG Worldwide Limited. The department selected the supplier through a competitive, selective mini-competition under the Crown Commercial Service Media and Creative Services framework, using its Creative Strategy & Development lot. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026, with a stated period from 14 October to 8 December 2026 and an extension option that could run to 9 January 2027, subject to budget approval and successful collaboration. The contract value is £41,540 excluding VAT (£49,848 including VAT). It is a single-lot award. The published process information does not state separate scoring criteria for the mini-competition.

For agencies competing for similar work from this department, this award demonstrates demand for a joined-up brand package for a defined government professional community, procured through a creative-services framework mini-competition. A credible competitor would need to bring brand strategy and development together with the ability to deliver advertising and marketing activity; the classification also points to radio and television services as part of the relevant service mix. Suppliers should be able to work collaboratively with a central government client, shape a coherent identity for a specialist public-sector profession and deliver a focused assignment at modest scale. FCG Worldwide Limited, the selected supplier, is recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller supplier secured this contract. The requirement is branding and communications, not cyber-security systems or technical operations.
