Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned a media workshop service for pre-start businesses, start-ups and businesses trading for less than two years. The workshop covers practical guidance on artificial intelligence, social media, podcasts, website design, branding and marketing. This is a business support and marketing service, classified under CPV 79000000. Delivery locations are recorded across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, the British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world, with an address also recorded in the B69 3DB area. The requirement is therefore suited to providers able to deliver media and digital business guidance across a broad geographical area, rather than a narrowly local marketing consultancy.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 15 September 2026 at 13:08. The award was made on 16 September 2026 to JK Essentials, with an awarded value of £0. The tender’s stated value was £500. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 6 October 2026. The procurement is for services and was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The outcome shows a single active award and no separate lots. The process was evaluated through the open procedure, with the requirement centred on delivering the specified media workshop and associated guidance for early-stage businesses.

This procurement indicates demand from Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council for short, focused business-support workshops covering both digital media and core marketing activity. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical knowledge of artificial intelligence, social media, podcast production, website design, branding and marketing, and the ability to turn that knowledge into accessible guidance for people at the very start of trading. The requirement favours a provider able to cover several related subjects within one coherent workshop, rather than a specialist offering only one digital service. Delivery capability across the recorded locations is also relevant, as is experience communicating with new founders and businesses with limited trading history.
