Summary of the contracting process

Ordnance Survey Limited procured consumer influencer and content-provider services for a marketing campaign. The requirement was classified as marketing management consultancy services, covering the management and delivery of consumer-focused content through influencer activity. The buying organisation is Ordnance Survey Limited, a public undertaking based in Southampton. The work was arranged as a single service requirement under the title Consumer Influencers, with the resulting contract described as Consumer Content Agency. This opportunity is relevant to marketing agencies, influencer-marketing specialists, content agencies and consultancy businesses able to plan, manage and deliver consumer campaigns for a public-sector organisation. It is focused on campaign content and marketing management rather than mapping, surveying or geospatial services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one lot and Upload Media Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 6 May 2025 and ran from 6 May 2025 to 3 September 2025. Its value was £42,000 excluding VAT and £50,400 including VAT. The contract was terminated on 31 July 2026, with the stated rationale that it had been completed; implementation ended on 4 September 2025 and the final value was £42,000 excluding VAT, or £50,400 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated as a concession-regime service procurement, with no further award criteria recorded.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Ordnance Survey for a managed consumer-content and influencer-marketing capability, delivered as a focused campaign service rather than a general corporate marketing contract. A credible future competitor would need to show experience planning and managing influencer-led campaigns, sourcing or coordinating suitable consumer content providers, and turning campaign objectives into content that can be delivered and managed effectively. Relevant businesses include influencer-marketing agencies, content production agencies, marketing-management consultancies and specialist campaign operators. The successful supplier was a large organisation, indicating that the buyer accepted a provider with the capacity to manage the required service at organisational scale. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate dependable campaign delivery, relevant consumer-audience expertise and the ability to work with a public undertaking.
