Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow Life (Culture & Sport Glasgow) commissioned a multi-lot framework for marketing services delivered in Glasgow. The requirement covers eight distinct service areas: creative concept and design; marketing consultancy; public relations and communications; market research; digital marketing; videography; photography; and the supply and delivery of promotional items. This is a services opportunity supporting the organisation’s marketing and communications activity. It may suit agencies, consultants, researchers, production companies, photographers, designers and promotional merchandise suppliers, depending on their specialist offer. The procurement covers marketing services classified under CPV 79342000, with each lot focused on a defined area of work rather than a single combined service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure, with active contracts signed on 22 July 2026. The award decision period began on 6 February 2026, and the bid opening was at 12:00 on that date. Each of the eight lots has a two-year contract period, with an option for extensions of up to 24 months in 12-month stages. Each contract is recorded at £3,535,032. The successful suppliers are: Public Sector Media, Maguires, Flourish Marketing and Bright Digital for creative design; Public Sector Media, Bright Digital, 3x1 and Flourish Marketing for consultancy; Nicola Jeffs, Muckle Media, 3x1 and Corrie Campbell Communications for PR; Jump Research, APS Group, Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce and Union Direct for research; Social Ant, Public Sector Media, Bright Digital and Leith Agency for digital marketing; Taylored, media co-op, Solo Films and Eat Drink Film for videography; SNS Group, Eoin Carey Photographer, Solo Films and McAteer Photograph for photography; and Allwag Promotions and APS Group for promotional items. Evaluation was 55% quality and 45% price; variants were not allowed.

This award demonstrates established demand from Glasgow Life for a broad marketing supply chain, with opportunities spanning strategic advice, campaign development, communications, audience research, digital delivery, film, photography and branded merchandise. The framework attracted strong SME participation: 20 bids for creative design, seven for consultancy, eight for PR, six for research, seven each for digital marketing, videography and photography, and two for promotional items. A credible future competitor would need a clearly defined specialist capability, evidence of delivering comparable marketing work at similar scale and complexity, and the ability to provide two concise, relevant case studies covering objectives, audiences, channels, outcomes and measurable impact. Financially, suppliers need positive pre-tax results over three years, positive net worth, sound statutory filings and the required insurance cover, including £10 million employers’ liability, £5 million public liability, £5 million product liability and £1 million professional indemnity.
