Opportunity overview

The Procurement Act 2023 permits an award without competition (direct award) where a Framework Agreement has been established through a compliant competitive process. The RM6364 Framework fully satisfies this requirement.

GCA has run a competitive process and awarded a sole supplier to Lot 1 of the Framework for media strategy, planning and buying services.
