Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Doncaster Council procured public notice advertising services for delivery in Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement covers advertising services (CPV 79341000), focused on placing and managing public notices for the council. It is a services contract bought by the council, with the work serving its communications and public-information needs across the region. The procurement was conducted as a further competition under the ESPO Framework Advertising Solutions Lot 2, so it is relevant to advertising agencies and specialist public-notice providers with access to, or experience of working through, public-sector framework arrangements. The appointed provider is ASG & PARTNERS, a large supplier based in Belfast.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective restricted procedure. The tender deadline was 1 April 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to ASG & PARTNERS on 1 May 2026 for £900,000. The contract period runs from 4 May 2026 to 3 May 2028, with an option to extend for a further 12 months, taking the potential end date to 3 May 2029. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was run as a further competition under ESPO Framework Advertising Solutions Lot 2. The published data identifies the service requirement and procurement route, but does not set out an award-criteria breakdown.

This award confirms established demand from City of Doncaster Council for public notice advertising delivered across Yorkshire and the Humber. A credible future competitor would need demonstrated capability in advertising services, particularly the planning, placement and management of public notices, together with the operational capacity to serve a council-wide regional requirement. Experience of public-sector procurement and of responding to further competitions under advertising frameworks would be relevant to the route used here. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist agencies can be credible participants where they can evidence the required service capability and delivery capacity. The successful supplier’s scale shows that larger providers also compete for this type of requirement.
