## Summary

The Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) is initiating a public procurement process for the "FRA079 Marketing Services Framework." This framework is intended to augment the capabilities of WRAP's in-house communications team. Based in Banbury, United Kingdom, WRAP plans to leverage this framework to engage multiple freelancers and agencies for diverse marketing services, including media buying, influencer management, digital strategy, events, and copywriting. The procurement, valued at £6,400,000, follows an open procedure and is currently in the planning stage, with the tender period set to conclude on 15th August 2025. Key deadlines include an enquiry period ending on 28th July 2025, while the award period is expected to wrap up by 6th October 2025. The procurement strategy anticipates establishing the framework during the 2025/26 calendar year, offering a contractual period up until 2033, with room for new supplier inclusion biennially.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in marketing and communications, particularly those with expertise in fast-paced, creative delivery. The framework seeks 5 to 10 freelancers on an ad-hoc basis and 2 to 3 retained agencies, ideal for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with the capability to provide high-quality, innovative solutions efficiently. Interested businesses will be assessed based on quality and pricing criteria, including written proposals and day rate evaluations. The open framework, with periodic renewals, offers a substantial duration for sustained business growth and collaboration with a well-established public undertaking like WRAP.
