The procurement was executed under the GCA RM6364 Media and Creative Services framework, specifically under lot 1. This contract, valued at £63,800,000, is aligned with advertising and marketing services throughout the United Kingdom. The procurement, not competitive and using a selective method, was in the award and contract stage, with the contract having started on 14th June 2026 and set to continue until 14th June 2030.
