Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council recently completed a procurement process titled "Destination Campaign Media," focusing on national media purchase for a campaign. The process falls under the services category within the advertising industry and serves the region of UKC in the United Kingdom. It was conducted using a direct procurement method, specifically below the threshold without competition. The contract, valued at £12,176.40, was signed on 26th March 2025 and runs from 1st April 2025 to 31st May 2026, with SD Advertising as the awarded supplier.
