Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has completed the procurement process for the "Award of Communications Support". This open procedure tender was focused on the services industry category and aimed at finding a Communications/PR Agency to provide ongoing communications support for establishing a new investment institution in Scotland. The contract was awarded on 13th July 2020, with a total value of £35,000. The location for the delivery of services is within the UK, specifically Edinburgh.

This tender presents an opportunity for established Communications and Public Relations firms to grow their business by engaging in government contracts. Companies that have experience in public sector communications, PR strategy development, and stakeholder engagement would be particularly well-suited to participate. The relatively low level of competition, with only one bid received, suggests a potential opening for more providers in future tenders of a similar nature.
