Summary of the contracting process

The "Media Planning & Buying Services" procurement process, initiated by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) based in Peterborough, UK, is focused on advertising consultancy services. The industry falls under the services category, with the relevant classification being advertising consultancy. The most recent stage in the procurement was the contract award, which took place on 23rd April 2025, resulting in an active contract valued at £2,100,000 with Jack Ryan Media Ltd. The initial call for tender was a selective procurement through a restricted procedure, showing that the procurement had strict eligibility criteria. Initially, a notice for tendering was published on 22nd November 2024, with the submission period closing on 6th January 2025. The project is set to commence on 20th May 2025 and will continue until 19th May 2028, with opportunities for extension.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in media planning and buying, particularly those capable of handling both digital and traditional media channels. With a contract of significant value, this tender could be ideal for large agencies looking to expand their portfolios with high-profile public sector clients. However, SMEs should also consider this opportunity, as the procurement process suggests that such businesses may still be suitable, provided they meet the specified award criteria, which heavily weigh quality (80%) over cost (20%). The structured approach and potential for renewal post-initiation offer long-term business growth potential for agencies that can align their service offerings with CITB's strategic marketing objectives for construction training and workforce development initiatives.
