UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Combined Authority procured advertising services to support the launch of its food waste capture increase campaign. The scope covered both out-of-home advertising, such as outdoor media, and digital advertising designed to promote the campaign and encourage greater food waste capture. This is a communications and marketing requirement rather than a supply, construction or operational waste-collection contract. The buying organisation is Greater Manchester Combined Authority, based in Manchester. Delivery is identified across the United Kingdom, so relevant work could involve campaign planning, media buying, creative placement and digital activity with national reach, although the buyer is a sub-central public authority serving Greater Manchester. The requirement was arranged as a single completed lot and was procured as a service.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition using a three-quote process under the PA23 Regulations and the authority’s constitution. One supplier was selected: ONE AGENCY MEDIA LIMITED. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026, with an award date of 1 July 2026, and runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £35,000 excluding VAT and £42,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers the advertising and marketing services for the food waste capture increase campaign, including the out-of-home and digital activity described in the requirement. The procurement used one lot, which is complete, and the awarded supplier is a Manchester-based SME.

This award provides a clear reference point for agencies competing for similar public-sector behaviour-change campaigns for Greater Manchester Combined Authority. Credible competitors would need to combine out-of-home media expertise with digital advertising capability, understanding how to plan and deliver an integrated campaign rather than offering only one channel. Experience of launching public information or environmental campaigns would be relevant, particularly where messaging must reach a broad audience and support measurable changes in behaviour around food waste. Suppliers should also be able to manage a short, focused campaign for a public authority, coordinate media activity across the United Kingdom and explain how their approach will reach the intended audience. The completed three-quote route indicates that a suitably established agency should be ready to respond concisely to a limited competition.
