## Summary

Perth & Kinross Council is seeking a copywriting agency to create and manage content for its Invest in Perth brand, aimed at businesses and investors, particularly to support inward investment. Work includes copywriting and content management for the Invest in Perth website, a monthly business bulletin distributed through Mailchimp, and the design and writing of the annual Invest in Perth magazine. The agency must also be able to deliver additional work as required. Services are for the Council and are delivered across the Perth and Kinross local authority area. This is a content and copywriting opportunity for agencies with experience communicating with business and investor audiences, rather than a general public relations or advertising brief.

The Council invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement reached the tender stage, with the invitation to submit bids issued for one lot. The tender deadline set was 30 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; bids were to be submitted electronically, and the bid opening was scheduled for the same time. The contract is for an initial 720 days, with an option to extend in phases for two further periods of up to one year each. The estimated contract value, including the extension period, is £260,000. Quality accounts for 70% of the evaluation and price for 30%. Bidders must provide three examples of comparable services delivered in the previous three years, and submit financial information and evidence of required insurance and management procedures.

This opportunity is best suited to an established copywriting agency with substantial experience producing engaging material for business and investor audiences, particularly inward investment. Relevant work should demonstrate the ability to manage a brand’s web content, produce a regular business bulletin, develop an annual magazine and respond flexibly to ad hoc content needs. Bidders need three comparable contract examples from the previous three years, including client, scope, outputs and outcomes. Financial standing is assessed using current ratios and net assets for the last two financial years. Required cover is professional indemnity insurance of £1 million, employer’s liability insurance of £10 million and public liability insurance of £5 million. Bidders must also evidence quality, health and safety, and environmental management procedures, through appropriate certification or documented policies and procedures.
