Applicants must complete the Dynamic Market PQQ, with partial service coverage accepted.

The market is intended to start on 9 September 2026 and is restricted to utility buyers. No participation fee is payable. The tender documents set the submission route and require registration on the central digital platform before bidding. This opportunity suits marketing agencies, digital specialists, public relations and public affairs consultancies, communications firms, employer-branding agencies, corporate reporting specialists and web or software development providers. Relevant capability includes campaign strategy and production, media buying, digital channel planning, SEO and accessibility, UX and UI, analytics, corporate reporting, employee insight, employer value propositions, political and press monitoring, stakeholder engagement, reputation management, crisis communications and media relations. Suppliers can compete for one or more service areas and do not need to provide the complete range of services within a lot.
