UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council procured advertising and related services for its public-sector communications and promotional activity. The requirement is classified as advertising services, covering the provision and management of advertising rather than goods, construction or general consultancy. The council is the buying organisation and the service is associated with Portsmouth and the surrounding delivery area in southern England. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, with the advertising service forming the complete scope. This is relevant to businesses providing advertising planning, media buying, campaign management, creative placement or related promotional services, particularly those able to support a local authority’s communications needs across outdoor and other advertising channels.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold tender process. One supplier was selected: Bauer Media Outdoor UK Ltd. The contract was signed on 11 May 2026, starts on 11 May 2026 and runs until 10 May 2028. Its value is £30,000 gross. The award is active and relates to the single completed requirement for advertising services. The published data identifies the procurement as below threshold, with the detailed method described as unknown. The outcome indicates that Portsmouth City Council appointed a large outdoor-media supplier for a two-year advertising services contract. No separate lot awards or additional suppliers are recorded.

This award shows that Portsmouth City Council buys defined advertising support from an established, large-scale outdoor media provider. Competitors seeking comparable future work would need credible capability in advertising services, with particular relevance to outdoor media planning, access to advertising inventory, campaign placement and delivery for a public authority. The requirement is modest in scale and focused rather than a broad communications framework, so suppliers should be able to manage a clearly bounded advertising brief efficiently and demonstrate reliable operational delivery. Experience supporting local-government communications, understanding public-sector approval processes and providing accountable campaign reporting would strengthen a competitor’s position when this buyer next reviews a similar requirement.
