Summary of the contracting process

Anchor Hanover Group bought public relations services covering press office activity and campaigns and projects PR. The requirement is classified as public relations services (CPV 79416000). Work is delivered across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is a housing and care organisation based in Bradford. The scope suits agencies providing ongoing press office support alongside planned communications campaigns and project-based public relations work. Suppliers would need to operate across the English regions covered by Anchor Hanover’s activities and provide both reactive media relations and structured campaign support.

The procurement is complete and one lot was awarded to STAND AGENCY LIMITED, an SME. The contract was signed on 27 March 2026 and runs from 1 April to 30 September 2026. Its value is £80,100 excluding VAT and £96,120 including VAT. The procurement was below threshold, using a procedure recorded as unknown. The award is active and the contract is active. A proposed amendment would extend the period from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a value of £160,200 excluding VAT and £192,240 including VAT. This proposed change has not been presented as a signed contract amendment.

This award shows that Anchor Hanover Group buys a combined public relations service rather than a single campaign: the requirement brings together press office support with campaigns and projects PR. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable media relations capability, the capacity to provide continuing press office coverage, and experience planning and delivering communications campaigns and projects. Geographic reach across England is important, as the service covers all English regions. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist agency without the scale of a major national communications group, provided it can manage the buyer’s broad regional footprint and varied public relations workload.
