Summary of the contracting process

Metropolitan Housing Trust Limited (MTVH) is procuring development marketing services to promote its development schemes across England. The work is divided into media buying, planning and establishing marketing suites, and planning and staging show homes. Media buying covers marketing and advertising for schemes developed during the contract; suites and show homes support developments that require those facilities. The services may be required across the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a multi-part requirement spanning advertising, marketing operations and presentation of residential developments, rather than a single campaign or location. Suppliers may compete for the parts that match their service specialism and delivery capability.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender was set to close on 30 October 2026 at 17:00 UTC, with an award decision scheduled by 30 November 2026. The framework is due to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, with a possible one-year extension by mutual agreement. Its estimated value is £7.6 million excluding VAT (£9.12 million including VAT) across three lots: media buying (£6 million excluding VAT), marketing suites (£800,000) and show homes (£800,000). The maximum framework appointments are one supplier for media buying and three suppliers each for suites and show homes. Evaluation weights quality and delivery at 70% and price at 30% for each lot. Media buying is awarded directly; the other lots use a rotational allocation mechanism.

The opportunity suits marketing and advertising agencies with development-sector experience, media planning and buying capability, and the ability to support housing schemes as they arise. Media buyers should be equipped to deliver scheme-specific campaigns over the framework term; work and spend will depend on the developments, marketing scope, media requirements and available budgets. Suppliers for marketing suites need capability in planning and establishing sales or marketing spaces for development schemes. Show-home providers need experience planning and staging residential show homes. The requirement is explicitly considered suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, and the three lots allow specialist firms to focus on relevant services. Suppliers should be prepared for variable call-off needs and, for suites and show homes, allocation through a rotation among appointed providers. No particular accreditation or minimum capacity threshold is stated in the available tender information.
