Summary of the contracting process

Clackmannanshire Council bought professional design and associated production services for its Sport, Leisure & Libraries Team. The requirement covers promotional and marketing materials supporting the council’s day-to-day operational and promotional activity across sport, leisure and library services. Deliverables include certificates, banners, posters, signage, display materials, digital and print messaging, and other visual assets. This is a creative design services opportunity, with an associated production element, delivered for the council’s services in Clackmannanshire. It would suit a design business able to develop a broad range of branded communications for public-facing facilities and activities, across both physical print materials and digital applications. The relevant service classifications include advertising and marketing, graphic design, and design support services.

The procurement has been awarded following a tender process. Form by Thought Ltd, based in Dunblane, was selected as the supplier. The award value is £18,360 including the stated currency of GBP, and the associated contract is recorded as active. Two bids were received. The award covers the council’s full requirement for design and associated production of promotional materials for sport, leisure and library services. The published outcome does not state an award date or contract duration. The available information identifies the selected supplier and award value but does not set out separate lots, a detailed evaluation weighting, or specific participation criteria. This is therefore a completed supplier-selection outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This award provides a clear indication of the type of creative supplier Clackmannanshire Council uses for its Sport, Leisure & Libraries Team. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to handle varied design work, from certificates and posters to banners, signage, displays and other visual assets, while supporting both print and digital communications. The work calls for a broad service rather than a single specialist format: suppliers would need to translate operational and promotional messages into usable materials for sport, leisure and library settings. Associated production capability is also relevant, alongside the ability to manage recurring requests and maintain consistent quality across different outputs. Local or regional design firms with public-facing communications experience and flexible delivery capacity would be well placed.
