Description

Crown Commercial Service as the Contracting Authority is putting in place a Framework Agreement for use by UK public sector bodies identified at VI.3 (and any future successors to these organisations), which includes Central Government Departments and their Arm's Length Bodies and Agencies, Non Departmental Public Bodies, NHS bodies and Local Authorities.
The Campaign Solutiuons Framework Agreement will be a new and innovative contracting solution for the provision of Campaign Solutions services. Crown Commercial Service is looking to provide clients with a quality and value for money approach to deliver campaign requirements.
Campaign Solutions has been developed by taking lessons learnt from the existing agreements and in response to extensive pre-market engagement, which has been carried out with existing agencies, the wider market, Trade Bodies and clients. The resulting single lot structure addresses the feedback received from this engagement. The Framework Agreement has been designed to facilitate collaborative working to solve problems, offer flexibility in respect of fully integrated, end to end campaign requirements, whilst enabling the parties tap into niche services, innovation and offering the opportunity to build long term strategic partnerships.
The Framework will include a range of Specialist Services.
A detailed description of the Services that the Potential Agency will be required to supply under this Framework Agreement is set out in section 2 (Services Offered) of the Framework Agreement.
