UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is in the planning stage of procuring services for a framework agreement titled "Provision of a framework for Graphic Design, Videography Services & Campaign Development." The project aims to establish a comprehensive framework with three specific lots: graphic design work, video and animation services, and campaign development. Interested parties were informed of this through a preliminary market engagement notice published on 5th September 2025. The procurement process is intended to culminate in a framework agreement with a gross value of £600,000, and the contract period is expected to commence on 1st December 2025, running through until 30th November 2027, with the possibility of renewal until 2029. The procurement falls under the services category, targeting the UK market, particularly within South Yorkshire.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in graphic design, videography, animation, and campaign development to secure long-term contracts with a sub-central government entity. Enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), that offer creative services and have experience in public sector projects would be well-positioned to compete. By joining this framework, businesses can benefit from sustained engagement, allowing them to expand their portfolios and build robust client relationships. Moreover, the structured lots enable companies to specialise in various aspects of creative services, catering to specific needs of the council, thus fostering business growth in the competitive public procurement market.
