UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited is seeking creative and design services for its sales team, covering marketing and print requirements. The work is intended to provide an accurately priced solution in line with the buyer’s specification, contract terms and service requirements. The wider organisation owns and manages around 35,000 properties and provides homes, housing support and community opportunities, so the services support the marketing of its housing and related offer. The buyer is a public undertaking based in Middlesbrough. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, with the organisation’s principal operating area in the North East of England and Yorkshire. The main work categories are advertising and marketing services and graphic design services.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline is 7 August 2026 at 12:00 UK time, with electronic submission permitted in English through the buyer’s procurement portal. The award decision is due by 7 August 2026 at 23:59 UK time. The contract is scheduled to run from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2028, with two possible one-year renewals extending the maximum period to 13 September 2030. The estimated tender value is £400,000 excluding VAT, or £480,000 including VAT. Evaluation is weighted 60% for quality and 40% for price. The opportunity is above the relevant threshold and comprises one lot.

This opportunity suits agencies and specialist suppliers with experience in creative design, sales and marketing communications, and print production. Businesses should be able to develop and deliver services against a detailed specification while providing clear, accurate pricing and working within contractual terms. The requirement is relevant to providers that can support a substantial housing organisation and its communications with customers, communities and partners across the United Kingdom. Suppliers able to combine graphic design with advertising, marketing and print delivery are likely to be better placed than businesses offering only one isolated service. Quality carries greater weight than price in evaluation, so bidders will need to demonstrate a strong service approach as well as competitive pricing. Electronic tender submission and English-language bid preparation are required.
