This tender falls within the advertising and marketing services industry category and is based in Coventry, West Midlands, England. The procurement is at the Tender stage, with submissions due by 26 March 2021. The budget for the contract ranges from £40,000 to £60,000, and the contract is expected to commence on 10 May 2021 and run until 30 April 2024. This is an open procurement process, allowing interested parties to submit bids for one or more of the three specified lots. This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in marketing and social media services. Businesses with expertise in managing social media accounts, creating engaging content, and analysing social media traffic will find themselves well-placed to compete for this contract. As Ofqual prefers a combined service solution, companies that can offer both management and monitoring services will have a competitive advantage. By partnering on this opportunity, businesses can expand their client base and demonstrate their capability in supporting a high-profile regulatory agency in the education sector. ## Notice Ofqual requires a service or services to manage its social media presence and to monitor social media traffic to keep abreast of current topics of interest to the organisation. Our scoring will be split into core requirements and additional desired requirements. Core requirements must be met and there are additional points awarded for meeting desired requirements. While the requirements are split into 2 separate sections for management and monitoring, and we will consider 2 separate solutions, we would prefer a single solution that encompasses all requirements, and the scoring will reflect that. Therefore, the tender will be split into 3 lots; a) Social Media Management. Managing Ofqual's multiple social media accounts with the ability to publish, schedule and share content from one place. In addition, this would include analysing content that is posted, engaging with, and responding to followers and wider audiences on the relevant social media platforms. b) Social Media Monitoring. Monitoring, tracking and analysing all mentions of Ofqual on social media platforms and in online forms, in addition to any other key words or subjects specified. c) Combined services Tenderers may bid for any or all of the 3 lots advertised, although preference will be given to those able to supply a fully combined service. We may choose to not procure any part of this tender should we feel that none of the tools meet our needs. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ba5ccef9-6b75-4a8e-989d-49772effbc26 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 26 Mar 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 May 2021 - 30 Apr 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | OFFICE OF QUALIFICATIONS AND EXAMINATIONS REGULATION (OFQUAL) | | Locality | COVENTRY | | Post town | Coventry | | Postcode | CV1 3BH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG33 Coventry | | Local authority | Coventry | | Electoral ward | Sherbourne | | Westminster constituency | Coventry North West | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79340000 - Advertising and marketing services - 79342000 - Marketing services ## Release History - 4 Mar 2021 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ba5ccef9-6b75-4a8e-989d-49772effbc26 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ba5ccef9-6b75-4a8e-989d-49772effbc26 4th March 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR161510 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://ofqual.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
