The work covers copywriting and content management for the Invest in Perth website, a monthly business bulletin distributed through Mailchimp, and the design and copywriting of the annual Invest in Perth magazine. The supplier must also be able to take on ad hoc work. This is a writing and content service, with related publishing and marketing activity. Work is for Perth & Kinross Council and is delivered in the Perth and Kinross local authority area. The Council invited offers through a tender using an open procedure. The procurement is divided into one lot, and uses a framework agreement with one participant. The estimated value is £260,000, including the extension period. The initial contract period is 720 days, with an option to extend in phases for up to two further periods of one year each. Bids were due by 30 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the evaluation period was scheduled to start at that time. Quality accounts for 70% of the evaluation and price for 30%. Tenderers were required to submit in English, and alternative bids were not permitted. The tender also includes community benefit and subcontracting requirements. The opportunity suits a copywriting agency with demonstrable experience producing engaging content for business and investor audiences, especially inward investment. Bidders had to provide three examples of similar services delivered within the preceding three years, including client, scope, outputs and outcomes, and state whether they planned to subcontract and what proportion. The supplier must be able to provide named staff and their qualifications. Financial suitability is assessed using current ratios and net assets for the last two financial years; explanations and supporting evidence may be provided if the expected tests are not met. Required cover is professional indemnity insurance of £1 million, employer’s liability of £10 million and public liability of £5 million.
