Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government is initiating a tender process for "Media Planning, Buying and Associated Services" to support the Scottish Public Sector. This procurement falls under the services category, with an anticipated value of £60 million. Currently in the planning stage, key documents related to the procurement, including a Request for Information, have been published. Interested suppliers must respond to the online questionnaire by 22 June 2018, with the potential for future notices expected on 1 October 2018.

This tender provides significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and third-sector organisations looking to engage with the public sector. Businesses specialising in media planning, buying, and associated services will be particularly well-suited to compete, given the government's aim to incorporate supplier feedback in shaping the procurement strategy. By participating in this tender, organisations can enhance their visibility and secure contracts that may lead to expanded business operations and partnerships within the Scottish Public Sector.
