## Summary

The Scottish Government’s communications team procured a communications planning service: a forward-planning tool that lets users build a multi-functional database of planned events and activity over time, organised across different channels and themes. The requirement is for a service supporting communications planning, rather than media buying or the delivery of individual campaigns. It is a single requirement, with delivery in Scotland. The buyer is the Scottish Government, based in Edinburgh. The service’s central purpose is to give users a shared way to record and organise forthcoming communications activity across channels and themes.

The procurement is complete and a contract is active. The Scottish Government selected Precise Media Monitoring Ltd / Onclusive for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026, at a value of £90,000. The award date and contract period are not stated. The buyer used a restricted procedure, meaning suppliers were selected through a staged process. The requirement was handled as one lot and through a dynamic purchasing system. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically; it came from outside the EU. No evaluation criteria or basis for comparing bids are recorded, so the award data does not establish whether price, technical quality or other factors determined the selection.

For suppliers considering comparable Scottish Government communications-planning work, this award is evidence of demand for a dedicated forward-planning service, rather than campaign execution or media placement. A credible competitor would need to provide a usable, multi-functional database that helps communications teams organise planned events and activity over time across multiple channels and themes. The service must support forward visibility and coordination of a varied programme, rather than simply listing media coverage or monitoring results. The selected supplier competed through a restricted procedure within a dynamic purchasing system, so experience operating in a staged purchasing route would be relevant. The recorded outcome shows a single bidder was selected; it does not identify particular technical specifications, accreditations or staff qualifications that a future supplier would need.
