Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), involves the "Media Buying Call Off Contract" within the marketing services category. The industry classification code is 79342000. DESNZ is based in London, England, and the procurement was carried out using a selective method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement process has progressed to the award stage with the contract being awarded to Manning Gottlieb OMD, a trading division of OMD Group Ltd. Key dates include the contract period from 27 June 2023 to 13 June 2026. The geographical scope includes the United Kingdom, British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the Rest of the World.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in marketing services, particularly those capable of handling large-scale media buying operations. Despite the procurement method being selective, businesses with established credentials in this domain could benefit from similar future opportunities as the framework is renewed. Companies similar in scale and capability to Manning Gottlieb OMD, particularly those adept at strategic media planning and buying, would be well-positioned to compete. The substantial contract value of £80,000,000 underscores the potential for substantial business growth for companies within the marketing industry.
