Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Commercial Service, operating on behalf of the Cabinet Office, has concluded a procurement process titled "Provision of a Creative Solutions Agency". This process falls under the industry category of advertising campaign services. The procurement was conducted via a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £15,600,000, commenced on 22nd April 2025 and is set to conclude on 21st April 2027. This contract will have implications for delivery across a variety of locations, including the United Kingdom, several British Overseas Territories, and numerous countries around the world. The procurement stage has advanced to the Award phase, with the contract being awarded on 14th April 2025 to DIGITAL UNLIMITED GROUP LTD, a large-scale supplier based in London.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for larger agencies specialising in integrated marketing communications. Companies operating within the advertising and campaign services sector can leverage such contracts to extend their reach globally, due to the wide geographical distribution required by the Cabinet Office's varied communication campaigns. This procurement is less suited to smaller enterprises or social enterprises, as indicated by the specific eligibility criteria that exclude SMEs and VCSEs. With a substantial contract value and a two-year term, there is ample scope for large firms to enhance their portfolio through collaborative governmental projects.
