Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Enterprise, located in Glasgow, awarded a contract for a Social Media Management Tool, aimed at supporting their economic affairs. The procurement, part of the "Economic affairs" industry category, was facilitated through an open procedure, and has now advanced to the award stage. The contract, valued at £151,019.99, was signed on 12th June 2025, and the award notice was published on 20th June 2025. The opportunity was part of a broader effort under the UK's overarching government procurement agreement, with Scottish Enterprise as the contracting authority.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in digital and social media management services. Larger enterprises like Hootsuite, who were awarded the contract, are well-suited to compete, but there are also potential entries from small and medium enterprises. For businesses adept in environmental compliance and social media integration, such contracts offer a pathway to collaborate with national agencies, elevate brand visibility, and expand market reach within the public sector. Participation in such tenders could potentially lead to long-term procurement engagements, with options for contract duration extensions offering further enhancement of business prospects.
