Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has completed the award stage of a procurement process titled "Award of MSF 2022 - Parental Audience - Research Services - ITT - 2025." This process falls under the services category, specifically within the business services sector, which includes marketing, law, consulting, recruitment, and security. The contract is focused on communications-related research for a parental audience. This procurement process took place in Edinburgh, with the key award date being 22nd September 2025. The procurement utilised a framework agreement, and the main supplier awarded is Jump Research with a contract value of £200,000.

This contract provides substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in marketing services with a focus on research and communications. Companies that possess expertise in designing effective communication strategies for specific demographics, such as parental audiences, would find themselves well-placed to compete for similar contracts. Entities with skills in comprehensive research and data analysis in the marketing sector can leverage this opportunity to enhance their portfolio and expand their client base in the public sector, particularly within government frameworks. The presence of only two bids suggests a competitive yet not overly saturated market, ensuring reasonable chances for well-prepared businesses.
