Next Government deadline announced
The next stage of the Scottish Government's protracted marketing services selection process has been announced, with the Invitation To Tender date set for 29 August.
The ITT was expected last month following the much delayed initial Pre-Qualifying Questionnaire stage.
136 agencies have been selected for the second stage, with 16 agencies competing for for the second stage of the above-the-line marketing tender, while seven agencies will compete for the direct mail roster.
As many as 35 design agencies, 25 Events agencies and 20 market research agencies have been put through, while 21 digital and 12 PR agencies have also been successful in progressing from the initial pre-qualifying questionnaires (PQQ), which over ran by months due to the high number of applicants, understood to be 462 agencies in total.
