Summary of the contracting process

Skills Development Scotland Ltd is seeking a social media agency to provide social media services. The requirement covers one service package for the organisation, whose headquarters are in Glasgow. This is a communications and digital marketing opportunity for an agency able to plan, create, manage and support social media activity for a public-sector skills and employment organisation. The procurement is categorised as services and uses CPV code 92111210 for motion picture and video production services. The buyer is a central purchasing organisation and the work is intended to support Skills Development Scotland’s activities. The requirement is presented as a single, defined service rather than separate specialist packages.

The process has reached tender: Skills Development Scotland invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline is 18 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, when bids are also scheduled to be opened; the award period starts at that time. The contract is for 360 days, with one optional 12-month extension at the buyer’s discretion. The estimated value for the single lot is £80,000. Bids must be submitted in English and variants are not allowed. Evaluation requires both economic and technical criteria, with the minimum requirements stated in the tender documents. Electronic payment will be used, and the procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity suits established social media agencies with the practical capability to deliver a complete social media service for a public-sector organisation over an initial year. Relevant suppliers are likely to be those able to combine strategic planning, content development, channel management, audience engagement, campaign delivery, reporting and day-to-day account management within one service. The single-lot structure may suit an agency that can provide the full requirement directly, rather than a narrow specialist seeking an isolated workstream. Suppliers must demonstrate the economic and technical standing required by the tender documents and prepare a compliant English-language electronic response. Agencies with experience working to formal public-sector requirements and managing ongoing client delivery should consider the opportunity.
