RM6237 LVPS.

RM6237 LVPS. The fast, compliant route for below-threshold public sector marketing work.

Name: Clever Marketing
Rating: 4.8

RM6124 is the Crown Commercial Service Dynamic Purchasing System for public sector marketing and comms. We are an appointed supplier, which means your team has a fast, fully compliant route to a proper agency relationship without the weight of a standalone procurement exercise.

A clear, honest explanation of RM6237.

RM6237 is the Low Value Purchase System (LVPS), run by the Government Commercial Agency. It gives public sector buyers a fast, compliant way to procure below-threshold goods and services.

Purpose built for lower value common goods and services including certain marketing and communications work. For most work under Public Contract Regulations thresholds, you can engage an appointed supplier through the LVPS rather than a full open tender.

New suppliers can join at any time, keeping the marketplace current and giving buyers real choice, particularly around SMEs and VCSE suppliers.

We are an appointed supplier. Your team can use the LVPS platform to engage us compliantly for below-threshold marketing and communications work.

Our frameworks

Is RM6237 the
 right fit for your project?

The LVPS suits the right kind of project. Here is how to tell if it is the right route.

RM6237 tends to suit:

Below-threshold marketing and communications requirements
Lower complexity briefs where the scope is already well defined
Projects where speed of procurement is a real factor
Teams with limited procurement capacity who need a simple compliant route
Organisations who want to work with SMEs or VCSE suppliers specifically
Projects that would otherwise go through informal quotes or single tenders

RM6124 (the Communications Marketplace) is usually a better fit for:

Larger, more complex comms and marketing engagements
Work that needs a structured further competition among multiple agencies
Strategic or longer term agency relationships
Projects above the LVPS threshold

Not sure?

We are on both frameworks and will give you a straight answer.

Next steps to engage us through our Frameworks.

Here is what you actually get when you engage us through RM6237.

Fast to scope, fast to deliver

Scoping conversations within days, clear proposals with defined deliverables, work underway without the usual onboarding drag.

Proper delivery, not just a fast quote

Fast procurement is not an excuse for rushed work. Every project is scoped, resourced and quality assured properly.

Public sector knowledge as standard

Accessibility, tone, sign-off processes. We bring the sector knowledge so you do not have to teach us the basics.

Transparent pricing and scope

Fixed price, fixed scope, clear change control. No invoice confusion, no scope creep surprises.

Honest about the right route

If your project does not suit RM6237, we will say so and point you toward the right route.

Typical RM6237 engagements we deliver.

Here is the work we most often deliver through LVPS.

Short-run creative and design

Campaign assets, collateral, infographics, annual reports, templates. Scoped upfront, delivered quickly, fully accessible.

Targeted digital campaigns

Paid search and paid social with clear success measures. Ideal for seasonal campaigns and service launches.

Website fixes and enhancements

Accessibility remediation, CMS upgrades, performance fixes. Often the answer is a focused piece of work rather than a full rebuild.

SEO audits and targeted improvements

Technical audits, content recommendations and focused SEO work for specific service areas.

Content production

Articles, landing pages, email sequences, video scripts. Tight scope, quick turnaround.

Strategy and advisory work

Audience research, messaging work, channel strategy. Often a good starting point before a larger engagement.

The process, step by step.

The LVPS is designed to be straightforward. Here is how it works from your side:

Confirm your project is below the applicable threshold. Your procurement team will know.
Access the LVPS via the GCA Supplier Registration Service and filter by service type, SME status and location.
Identify appointed suppliers. Clever Marketing will appear where our scope matches your requirement.
Engage us directly or run a light-touch competition, depending on your procurement policy and project value.
Award the contract with the LVPS audit trail and get underway.

Quicker than a full tender. More compliant than informal quotes. The best of both worlds for below-threshold work.

A quick note on thresholds:

Thresholds are updated periodically. If you are close to the limit, confirm with your procurement team before committing to RM6237.

Organisations that use the  LVPS to work with us.

RM6237 is available to all UK public sector organisations, including:

Local councils and district authorities
Combined authorities and mayoral offices
Central government departments and agencies
NHS trusts, ICBs and health authorities
Emergency services and blue light organisations
Universities, colleges and further education bodies
Housing associations and registered providers
Non-departmental public bodies and arm’s length bodies
Publicly funded charities and third sector organisations

We are GCA appointed and
ready to engage.

We are listed on GCA frameworks RM6124 and RM6237. Our services can be procured through either, removing the need for a full competitive tender in many cases. Central government and ALBs should factor in Cabinet Office approval for AMC spend of £100,000 or over.

Common RM6237 questions.

Can we direct award through RM6237?

Often, yes, but it depends on your own procurement policy rather than the LVPS itself. Some buyers engage an appointed supplier directly for simple below threshold work, others run a light touch comparison anyway for their own governance. Check your internal rules first, and if you’re not sure, ask us.

What’s the threshold?

Thresholds are set by Procurement Policy Note and updated periodically. Your procurement team will know the current figure.

Is RM6237 just for SMEs?

No. Suppliers of all sizes sit on the list, us included. SMEs and VCSE organisations do get a fair look in, and buyers can filter for that if it matters to their policy, but it’s not a requirement of the system itself.

Can you help us scope the project before we commit?

Yes, and it costs nothing. Tell us the budget, timeline and what you need, and we’ll tell you honestly whether RM6237 fits, whether it’s really an RM6124 job, or whether something else suits better.

How does RM6237 differ from RM6124?

RM6237 is built for speed on smaller, well defined jobs, sometimes with direct award. RM6124 suits bigger or more strategic work where you want a full further competition and a longer term relationship. We’re appointed on both, so just ask if you’re unsure which fits.
