HIE intends to award a Framework for Copywriting suitable for a range of formats for various channels, including social, website, print, blogs and advertising.

The contract will be awarded under a Framework Agreement to a single supplier and under this agreement, no minimum workload is guaranteed. Services will be agreed on an “as required” basis only.

It will also be available for call-off by any other Contracting Authority wholly or partly under the control of, or funded by HIE, at any point during the term of this Framework (subject to case-by-case approval by HIE). Other organisations entitled to benefit from the framework will enter into a direct framework agreement with the successful suppliers on the same terms and conditions as those applying between HIE and the suppliers.

The 4-year budget currently available to deliver this service is between GBP 280,000 and GBP 320,000 (excluding VAT).
