Public contracts
Posted By admin On 16/07/2009 @ 08:18 am In Business | 1 Comment
Supply.gov is a government-backed service to alert business to public contract. They charged me a couple of hundred pounds last year to receive alerts from all over the country.
I decided this year to retreat a little and revert to the basic free service which alerts me to Greater Manchester only.
This arrived this week:
” UK-Manchester: Brand Development and Creative for Helpline Campaign
| Entry Date: 14/07/2009 Reference: S2G09071394866/01 Type of document: Contract Notice Country: UNITED KINGDOM Nature of contract: Service contractTo evolve the Commission’s current look and feel across a range of media to suit varying content and audience segments but which retains strong branding for the Commission. To deliver a creative approach for the Commission’s helpline campaign to be launched in the autumn…. This contract and others like it can be viewed in full by upgrading your subscription level. |
Wondering why it would not let me access a contract based in Manchester, I contacted the helpline. This is the response I got:
“I have now located the contract on our system and can see that the contract has been tagged with the UKD location code, indicating that the contract is taking place at various locations in the North West. As such this falls outwith your current access level of Greater Manchester and would require an upgrade to a minimum of low value - Regional access, which costs £70 + VAT per year.
To upgrade your account you must do this online. Please follow the steps below.”
Ever felt ripped off?
