Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has finalised a tender titled "Content versioning, production and distribution" under the industry category of advertising services (CPV 79341000). TAG EUROPE LIMITED has been awarded the contract to manage creative asset fulfilment requirements, including translation, transcreation, versioning services, and distribution for communication products and marketing campaigns. This selective procurement, conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement, commenced on 23 January 2025 and will run until 23 January 2026. The contract, valued at £1,500,000 GBP, targets delivery addresses across a broad geographic range, including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, and the Rest of the World.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in advertising, marketing, and media services to establish or expand collaborations with high-profile public sector clients. Ideal contenders for such opportunities would be companies capable of managing large-scale creative projects and delivering diverse services, including translation and digital content production. While large-scale enterprises may find this contract particularly beneficial, companies with expertise in niche areas such as social content development and international media distribution can also leverage such agreements for substantial business growth. The procurement underscores significant potential for robust partnerships and brand visibility enhancement within governmental frameworks.
