GPS points north to diva

Yorkshire social marketing agency diva creative has been appointed to a major government framework – after demonstrating the value for money it offers the public sector. The Sheffield-based company successfully completed a competitive tender process and online auction to earn its spot on Government Procurement Service’s (GPS) Strategy & Planning framework for Marketing and Communications Strategy Development (lot one).

Of the 12 agencies to have been awarded a place on the framework, diva is the only one based in the north of England.

The appointment means that diva can compete for work in strategy development and behaviour change communications across the public sector.

Amanda Pearce, director at diva, said: “This GPS framework opens a door for us to secure contracts from a wider range of organisations across government and the wider public sector.

“diva works across the country, as well as with government organisations such as the Department for Work and Pensions, the Department of Health, and the Department for Education. We have developed a reputation as a leading supplier of marketing and communications services, particularly in areas like sustainable travel and public health.

“Our addition to the framework is recognition of diva’s ability to deliver successful, cost-effective campaigns for public sector clients.”

GPS is an executive agency of the Cabinet Office. It plays a vital role in helping protect frontline services, working on behalf of the public sector to save taxpayer money and ensure efficiency in government procurement, delivering savings through aggregated procurement solutions.
