## Summary

The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) commissioned a media campaign for its Jury Transformation Project. The work supports changes to the jury process intended to better meet the needs of jurors, court operational staff and the wider justice system. It covers raising awareness of jury service and explaining the improvements being introduced. The appointed provider was expected to develop and deliver a targeted communications and marketing campaign, including campaign materials and associated assets for use across a range of media channels. This is a marketing and communications services requirement for a public justice organisation based in Edinburgh, with the campaign supporting SCTS’s wider Scottish courts and tribunals operations. The relevant classification is media campaigns (CPV 79341400).

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. SCTS used a limited procedure through direct award, without publishing a separate call for competition, under the Scottish Government SP-21-017 Framework Agreement for Marketing Services, Lot 2. The framework’s supplier ranking and direct-award provisions determined the call-off; no further competition or call-off evaluation was undertaken. Union Direct was selected, with one bid recorded, from an SME bidder. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and is active. Its value is £39,445 including the stated currency of GBP. The procurement comprised one lot covering the campaign and associated marketing services. The award is identified as outside the scope of the applicable directive and covered by the GPA.

This award shows that SCTS buys targeted public-sector marketing support through an established marketing-services framework, using direct award and supplier ranking rather than a fresh competition. Businesses suited to comparable work would need to operate as a specialist marketing agency and demonstrate the ability to turn a public-service change programme into clear, accessible communications. Relevant capability includes campaign strategy, audience awareness work, creative development, production of campaign materials and associated assets, and planning or delivery across multiple media channels. Experience communicating about public services, justice, civic responsibilities or operational change would help a supplier understand the subject matter and reach jurors and court staff effectively. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this scale of requirement can suit a focused agency with sufficient delivery capacity.
