## Summary

The Scottish Government procured marketing services for the “Safer and Parental Audience – PR” requirement under Marketing Services Framework 2022. The work is intended to provide public relations support connected with reaching safer and parental audiences. It falls within business services, specifically marketing and related consultancy, with CPV code 79000000. The buying organisation is the Scottish Government, based at St Andrew’s House in Edinburgh. The requirement is described as a contract within the wider framework rather than a general marketing commission. The procurement therefore concerns suppliers able to provide targeted public relations and marketing services for a Scottish Government audience-related programme.

This procurement has been awarded. The Scottish Government selected John Doe Group, following a process that received two bids. The award value is £300,000. The award and contract signing took place on 4 February 2026, and the contract is recorded as active. The tender period ran from 4 February 2026 to 4 January 2027. The opportunity was handled as an invitation-to-tender under Marketing Services Framework 2022 and identified as a quick-quote award. The award covers the Safer and Parental Audience – PR marketing services requirement. The available outcome records one supplier and one award, rather than separate awards for multiple lots.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that the Scottish Government buys specialist public relations and marketing support for safer and parental audience objectives through its Marketing Services Framework 2022. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a demonstrable capability in public relations, audience-focused communications and marketing services, with the ability to shape work for public-sector objectives involving safety and parents. Experience of delivering clear, targeted campaigns for defined audiences would be relevant. Suppliers should also understand the framework and quick-quote route used for this requirement, since the successful competition attracted two bids and resulted in an active contract with John Doe Group.
