Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government procured public relations and communications support for CivTech Round 12. The requirement is a professional communications service connected with the programme, rather than goods, construction or technical delivery. The buyer is the Scottish Government, based at Victoria Quay in Edinburgh, and the supplier’s work is associated with the Scottish Government’s CivTech programme. The procurement is therefore relevant to PR agencies, communications consultancies and firms that support public-sector innovation programmes. Its classification is communications network services (CPV 32412000), although the stated requirement is specifically PR and communications support for CivTech Round 12.

This procurement has reached the award stage. Three bids were recorded, and the contract was awarded to Holyrood PR for £6,975.39 including the stated GBP currency. The associated contract is recorded as active. The award concerns the complete stated requirement for CivTech Round 12 PR and Communications Support, with no separate lot awards reported. The award outcome was recorded on 11 September 2026. The available procurement record identifies the successful supplier and contract value, but does not set out an evaluation weighting or a contract duration. This is therefore an awarded low-value communications engagement rather than an opportunity to submit a bid on the current process.

For a supplier that did not win, this award is useful evidence that the Scottish Government buys focused PR and communications support for its CivTech programme through a competitive tender route. Firms best placed for comparable future work would be PR or communications specialists able to understand a public-sector innovation programme, turn its activities into clear external communications, and work with government stakeholders. Credibility would come from relevant campaign or programme communications experience, strong media and content skills, and the capacity to deliver a defined support package at modest scale. Experience communicating technology, innovation or public-service initiatives would be particularly relevant to this requirement, alongside an ability to meet public-sector procurement and delivery expectations.
