## Summary

The Scottish Funding Council commissioned marketing and public relations support for its funding to colleges aimed at eradicating child poverty. The work sits within marketing services and was delivered in Scotland. It was procured as one lot through the Scottish Government’s marketing services framework. The requirement concerns communications support linked specifically to the child poverty funding programme for colleges, rather than general marketing work across the Council’s activities. The buyer is the Scottish Funding Council, which is based in Edinburgh.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Stand. This was a mini-competition under the Scottish Government marketing services framework, using an open procedure. Two bids were received, both from small and medium-sized enterprises. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and is active, with a recorded value of £147,000. The award covers the single lot for marketing and PR support connected with college funding to eradicate child poverty. No award date or contract period is recorded in the published process information.

This award shows demand from the Scottish Funding Council for focused marketing and public relations work supporting college funding to eradicate child poverty. Suppliers aiming to compete for a similar requirement should be able to shape communications around a defined public policy and funding programme, and deliver marketing and PR support that connects colleges with that purpose. The route used was a mini-competition within the Scottish Government’s marketing services framework, so relevant suppliers would need access to that framework to compete through the same route. Two SMEs bid, and the selected supplier was Stand. A credible competitor would therefore need suitable marketing services capability and the ability to respond to a framework competition for a single, programme-specific requirement.
