Summary of the contracting process

Anglian Water Services Limited is currently in the planning stage of a selective procurement process for a creative advertising campaign, titled "Advertising". This initiative focuses on the advertising and marketing services industry, with a projected budget of £1,000,000. The procurement is seeking to understand market interest for potential TV and creative advertising requirements over a maximum initial term of three years, with the possibility of five one-year extensions at the discretion of Anglian Water. Bids for this tender must be submitted electronically by 31 December 2022, with further details available on the provided e-sourcing link.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for creative agencies, particularly those specialising in television advertising alongside other media channels such as social media, print, and radio. Agencies that can demonstrate flexibility and a strategic approach to communication, while offering a comprehensive suite of services, are well-suited to participate. As the selection will culminate in a framework agreement with a maximum of three successful agencies, this could lead to future workload bids for successful contenders based on Anglian Water's evolving communication strategies.

Lot Information

Lot 1

As part of our communications strategy, we have a number of core objectives which including reaching as many people with our messages about what we do, both in terms of the service we provide and in addition those times where we go above and beyond by delivering against our purpose. In order to reach more people, our communication channels of choice can flex dependent on performance results and evolving requirements. This also can include TV advertising should we need it. We have produced two creative advertising campaigns, including TV, to date and should it be successful, more work may be required. This would always need to be part of a wider narrative and based on a core creative idea. Strategic input and creative flair are what we would expect from any agency. Anglian Water requires the ability to call upon professional agencies with the right expertise to create a strategic vision, create compelling storytelling and enable execution should we need to at any point in the future.
