Summary of the contracting process

Tayside and Central Scotland Transport Partnership (TACTRAN) is seeking a digital marketing partner to lead, manage and deliver marketing support for the Partnership. The work will promote sustainable transport messages for the Get On the GO brand and TACTRAN, helping communicate sustainable travel and behavioural-change messages. It is a marketing services requirement delivered across Tayside and Central Scotland, with potential contributions from local authorities alongside TACTRAN funding. The requirement is classified as information technology services (CPV 72000000), although the stated work is digital marketing support. The buyer is a regional transport partnership based in Perth and acts as a central purchasing body.

The procurement has reached tender: TACTRAN invited offers through an open procedure. Responses were to be submitted electronically by 25 September 2026 at 17:00. The estimated value is £30,000. The contract is for 1,440 days, with bid opening scheduled for 28 September 2026 at 10:00; bids must remain valid until 30 October 2026. Evaluation requires evidence of relevant experience in monitoring and evaluation, transport, behavioural change and other relevant projects, together with staff CVs. Execution is reserved to a particular profession, participation is reserved to sheltered workshops, and named staff qualifications are required. Variants are not allowed, and submissions must be in English.

This opportunity suits a digital marketing or communications provider able to plan and deliver campaigns supporting sustainable transport and public-sector behavioural change. Strong candidates will be able to demonstrate relevant monitoring and evaluation work, transport-related projects, behavioural-change campaigns and comparable assignments, rather than relying only on general marketing experience. The buyer requires an overview of the most relevant experience and CVs for the staff who will undertake the work, so suppliers need an appropriately qualified delivery team and the capacity to commit named personnel. The requirement is reserved to sheltered workshops, making it particularly relevant to eligible organisations with the required professional capability and delivery arrangements. Performance will be managed against KPIs.
