Tender description

SE wishes to appoint 6 suppliers to deliver Marketing Expert Help Support to companies. This opportunity is for a framework which will be split into 4 lots. It is intended that 2 suppliers will be appointed to Lots 1 and 2. It is intended that 1 supplier will be appointed to Lots 3 and 4. It is anticipated that the framework will commence June 2016 for a period of 3 years (June 2019) with the option to extend for 1 further year. The product will be delivered across SE entire operational areas making this a national programme available to companies across Scotland (excluding HIE), so capacity to deliver is essential.
