Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has completed a procurement process titled "DSIT Media Buying", focused on advertising campaign services within the professional services industry. This tender, with a contract value of GBP 9,950,000, was carried out using a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract initially set to end on 13th December 2025, has been extended to 13th June 2026, aligning with the extension of the CCS framework. The contract serves the London region in the United Kingdom, and the planning stage has transitioned into the award phase as of 19th June 2023, with the contract awarded to Manning Gottlieb OMD.

This tender represents significant opportunities for large-scale businesses with expertise in advertising campaign services, particularly those capable of engaging in framework agreements. While the tender was unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, it provides an avenue for businesses to partner with prominent government entities like DESNZ. Companies such as Manning Gottlieb OMD, experienced in managing extensive media buying campaigns, are well-suited for this procurement, leveraging its potential for bolstering credibility and expanding portfolios in the public sector.
