Summary of the contracting process

City of Wolverhampton College procured advertising and marketing services (CPV 79340000). The requirement covers services for the college 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. It is a public-sector services requirement managed by the college, with the potential for additional services of a similar nature where they fall within the contract’s scope and provisions. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The work is therefore relevant to agencies and marketing businesses able to support a further-education college across a national footprint, rather than suppliers focused solely on a single local campaign or delivery area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Edison Media Limited. The award date was 13 July 2026, with a gross awarded value of £598,584. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, with up to two 12-month extensions available, allowing a maximum period to 31 July 2030. It was a two-stage competitive flexible procedure using a selective method and an accelerated process. Two bids reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted quality at 50%, price at 40% and presentation at 10%. The expression-of-interest deadline was 15 July 2026. The original estimated gross value was £559,500, while the lot and award were recorded separately at their respective values.

This award demonstrates established demand from City of Wolverhampton College for advertising and marketing support delivered across England. A competing supplier would need a credible ability to provide broad geographic coverage and to deliver work that performs strongly on quality, while remaining price competitive and presenting its approach effectively. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on quality and presentation together than on price alone, so agencies should be able to show the standard of their creative, strategic and delivery work, not just offer a low-cost service. The opportunity also attracted two final-stage bids, including two SMEs, indicating that a smaller specialist agency can compete where it can demonstrate relevant capability, capacity and a clear presentation.
