Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) recently awarded a contract regarding the provision of advertising and related services for the DAERA Water Quality Campaign, specifically targeting the improvement of water quality across Northern Ireland with a significant focus on Lough Neagh. This procurement, conducted via an open procedure, is part of an initiative to enhance the quality of water bodies, addressing issues like the grave impacts of Blue Green Algae. The procurement stage reached completion on 16 January 2026, marking the activation of the contract, which is set to run until 30 April 2027, with a possible extension of up to twelve months. Conducted in the Belfast region under the industry category of advertising and marketing services, this initiative is set to align with the UK's Public Procurement legal basis as outlined in the UKPGA.

The awarded contract presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in advertising and marketing services, specifically those that can offer comprehensive advertising campaign services. The involvement of a small to medium-sized enterprise, Anderson Spratt Group Ltd, located in Belfast, highlights the suitability for SMEs eager to engage with public sector contracts and deliver strategic communication solutions. Such businesses, particularly those experienced in handling public awareness campaigns and with knowledge of environmental issues, stand to benefit significantly by showcasing their capabilities in executing high-profile projects that also contribute positively to community welfare and environmental sustainability efforts. Meeting the criteria set by DAERA not only promises economic growth through securing public sector work but also enhances reputation and professional expertise in the field of public-sector communications and environmental advocacy.
