## Summary

Scape Group Limited, based in Nottingham, has successfully completed the procurement process for a Public Relations and Marketing Strategic Communications Contract valued at £500,000. The procurement, classified under public relations services (CPV code: 79416000), employed a selective method through a restricted procedure. The contract was awarded to CITY PRESS SERVICES LIMITED, and the contract period spans from 24 March 2020 to 23 March 2025. The tender period concluded on 23 March 2020, marking the transition to the award stage.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in public relations and marketing services—especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that specialise in strategic communications, brand management, and marketing campaigns would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Engaging in collaborations through consortia or joint ventures could enable interested parties to meet the requirements for contracting with Scape as a single legal entity.

## Notice

Scape sought expressions of interest from suitably experienced organisations to provide Public Relations (PR) and associated marketing services across the whole of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland as described within the Procurement documentation. Scape was open to receiving responses from consortia, joint ventures, strategic alliances and other such arrangements, however such organisations were required to form a single legal entity to contract with prior to the award of the contract and provide appropriate guarantees and security packages commensurate with the services. The specific services that will be provided under the Contract, the nature and types of services include those services identified by the CPV codes. The successful Bidder will be required to work with the in-house Marketing service providers of Scape.
