Summary of the contracting process

Consumer Scotland procured services for the re-letting of its website. The requirement covers the operation or redevelopment of the organisation’s website and associated internet-facing services, with the detailed scope set out in the invitation to tender. The procurement is categorised as services and includes networking, internet and intranet software packages (CPV 48200000), together with internet services (CPV 72400000). Consumer Scotland is based in Edinburgh and is the organisation buying the service. The selected supplier, Bright Digital Marketing LTD trading as Bright Signals, is based in Glasgow. This is therefore relevant to digital agencies, website specialists, internet-service providers and firms able to deliver software or technical services supporting a public-sector website.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage. Consumer Scotland selected Bright Digital Marketing LTD (Bright Signals) as supplier. The award value is £20,340, excluding any different treatment of tax because the source does not state this. One bid was recorded. The contract is active and was signed on 8 November 2026. The procurement used a tender process, with the opportunity described as a website re-let and the detailed requirement and scope contained in the invitation to tender. The award covers the website-related service requirement as a single award. No separate lot awards are recorded. The contract’s recorded outcome is therefore a single active agreement with Bright Signals for the stated value.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement from Consumer Scotland for website and internet-service capability at a modest public-sector scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to show practical experience delivering and supporting organisational websites, alongside the technical ability to provide or integrate internet, networking and intranet software services. Digital agencies, web development and support firms, managed internet-service providers, and technology businesses with suitable delivery partners are the closest fit. Evidence of reliable service delivery, clear understanding of a public body’s needs, and the capacity to manage the full website requirement would help distinguish a supplier when Consumer Scotland next tests this need.
