There are 3 contracts in this contracting process.

Summary of the contracting process

The National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) in partnership with the Mary Rose Trust has procured a contract through an open procedure for the appointment of a Media Buying Agency. This tender process, classified under 'Advertising and marketing services' (CPV code: 79340000), involved services required across several sites including the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, Fleet Air Arm Museum, National Museum of the Royal Navy Hartlepool, and HMS Caroline. The procurement was divided into three distinct lots although only Lot 1 for Media Buying and Planning was awarded due to no compliant bids for Lots 2 and 3. The process culminated in the award stage, with 'Anything is Possible Media Limited' appointed as the supplier. The total contract value amounted to £2.9 million, with a contract period starting on 1st April 2025 and ending on 31st March 2030. Key locations for service delivery include the North East, South East, South West, and Northern Ireland.

This tender signifies a considerable opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as identified by the suitability criteria, given its open nature and strategic service requirements across the UK's key geographic regions. The large scale of the project, with significant visibility for the contracting authority's historic sites, presents vast business growth potential for enterprises specialising in media buying and planning, as well as those experienced in handling advertising and marketing services for museums and public attractions. Companies capable of leveraging affiliate marketing and brand partnership services although not appointed this time, could stand to gain from future opportunities arising from similar collaborative efforts with the National Museum of the Royal Navy and its associates.
