Summary of the contracting process

The Education Training Collective, located in Thornaby, North-East England, initiated a tender process for a "Media Advertising Agency - 2025" project. The process aimed to hire a supplier to provide advertising solutions across multiple platforms. This open procedure invited submissions until 8th July 2025, with plans for awarding contracts around 14th July 2025. Initially estimated at a value of GBP 1,000,000 to GBP 1,200,000, the tender targeted the advertising and marketing services sector. However, the process was later terminated on 7th October 2025 due to challenges in evaluating supplier responses, prompting plans for a revised tender.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advertising services, particularly those adept in consultancy and management for varied media platforms. It presents a chance for agencies to act as a bridge between ETC's marketing team and advertising service providers. Agencies capable of innovatively promoting educational offerings to demographics ranging from 14 to 65 years old in the Teesside area will find this contract an excellent match. The process is well-suited to businesses that can adapt to evolving criteria and participate effectively in renewed tenders, ensuring alignment with the ETC's enhanced objectives post-cancellation.
