Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has concluded the "Destination Nuclear Phase 2" procurement process, entailing the delivery of an advertising campaign. The contract, classified under the advertising and marketing services category, encompasses a broad geographic scope that includes the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and United Kingdom. The procurement, which fell under a single tender action (below threshold) method, commenced its contract period on 12th July 2024 and will run until 31st March 2025. Key dates in this process include the award date on 12th July 2024, with the contract valued at £2,016,760 GBP, awarded to Cogent Skills Limited, a SME based in Warrington, Cheshire, England.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the advertising and marketing services sector, particularly those with expertise in large-scale, international campaigns. Given the substantial contract value and the strategic importance of the nuclear advertising campaign, businesses specialising in delivering high-impact and targeted advertising solutions would find this project particularly suitable. The Ministry of Defence's preference for a supplier already involved in the nuclear sector underlines the importance of relevant industry experience and the ability to meet stringent deadlines, thereby creating a conducive platform for specialised businesses to demonstrate their capabilities and potentially secure future public sector work.
