Summary of the contracting process

The Anchor Hanover Group has awarded the "Creative Marketing Services (Sales) Framework" contract, completing the procurement process. This project is aimed at leading marketing efforts for a new build sales programme titled "Life in Place," which targets older homebuyers and their families across the UK. The awarded contract, with a value of £10 million over four years, began on 20 October 2025 and will run until 19 October 2029. The project is supported by four suppliers: FLUID IDEAS LIMITED, WE ARE FRED CREATIVE LTD, STEFFCO LIMITED, and MEDIAWORKS UK LIMITED, making it a collaborative effort under a selective procurement method. The procurement process employed a competitive flexible procedure to establish a closed framework agreement, allowing for both direct awards and mini competitions within the framework. The industry category for this tender is advertising and marketing services, with the contract involving multiple regions in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents multiple opportunities for SMEs, particularly those specialising in the property and marketing sectors. Businesses with a robust understanding of the property market and the ability to deliver tailored content for a demographic of older buyers will find this framework beneficial. As the framework allows for campaign and project-based work, it offers potential growth opportunities for creative agencies capable of quick turnarounds and innovative marketing strategies. Collaborative approaches and insight-driven content could serve as a competitive edge, with room for expansion as additional contracting authorities might leverage this framework for related projects, subject to a fixed fee.
