Tender description

Essex County Council are issuing a tender which aims to set up a framework of suppliers to provide communications and marketing services for a period of up to 4 years. Suppliers appointed to this framework will deliver services to the communications and marketing team and colleagues in communications and marketing roles across ECC, as well as other officers who may have ad-hoc requirements.

There will be 5-8 suppliers appointed to each of the lots which are: Lot 1: Design services; Lot 2: Public Relations Services; Lot 3: Digital Services (PPC, SEO, digital display but not website build); Lot 4: Photography; Lot 5: Videography; Lot 6: Media Planning and buying. The marketing and communications are looking to establish a new framework agreement made up of six lots, with 5-8 suppliers per lot. The framework will last for 3 years. Word will be awarded using a mix of mini competition and direct award.
