We have been named on Crown Commercial Service’s (CCS) RM6364 Media and Creative Services framework on Lot 6 – Events.

This appointment means we can now support central government departments and wider public sector organisations with the planning and delivery of events and experiential activity. Adding to our burgeoning list of Government frameworks, including Communications Marketplace (RM6124), Print & Digital Communications (RM6297) to name just a few in England, as well as our work with the Scottish Government, built up over the last 10+ years across various areas of the public sector.

Our end-to-end support will span event concept, creative development, content and asset creation, production and logistics, and on-the-ground delivery and installation across a Global remit. We’ll help public sector teams deliver consistent, accessible and effective communications across live environments as part of the multimillion-pound framework.

James Lawton-Hill, Marketing and Agency Director at APS Group, said: “Being named as a supplier on this framework is an important milestone for APS Group and recognition of the strength of our team and our capabilities centred around an end-to-end marketing service delivery model.

“Public sector communications often carry real-world importance. Our focus is on being a dependable, ambitious partner – combining our industry-leading creative thinking with operational excellence to help deliver events that are inclusive and effective.”

CCS’s Media and Creative Services framework gives public sector buyers access to media and creative agencies that run full marketing and communications campaigns. It offers one clear way to buy these services through a single route to market.

Crown Commercial Service supports the public sector to achieve maximum commercial value when procuring common goods and services. In 2024/25, CCS helped the public sector to achieve commercial benefits equal to £5.3 billion – supporting world-class public services that offer best value for taxpayers.

We’re delighted that Crown Commercial Service have awarded us the new Print Marketplace contract, meaning that APS retain it for another four years until December 2028. 

The CCS framework is a market-leading solution for public sector print buyers who can use the online platform to get instant quotes for their marketing print requirements, alternatively there is an assisted option for more complex jobs. The innovative platform was built with sustainability and social value in mind and can help towards meeting organisational objectives. 

Since its launch in 2020, Print Marketplace is now used by hundreds of public sector organisations and saving them both time and money, from local and central government to educational institutions, NHS and blue light departments.
