Summary of the contracting process

Breckland District Council procured a digital engagement service: a digital campaign to support the council’s communications. The requirement falls within advertising and marketing services and covers campaign activity delivered for the council in the United Kingdom. It is a communications-focused service rather than a supply of goods or physical works. Businesses with experience planning and delivering digital campaigns for public-sector communications would find the subject matter relevant. The named public-sector buyer is Breckland District Council, based in Dereham. The requirement was arranged as a single service lot and concerns the council’s own communications needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. One supplier was selected: SW1 MEDIA LIMITED. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and runs from 28 July 2026 to 27 July 2027. Its gross value is £118,500 including tax. The award covers the single digital engagement lot and the evaluation outcome is therefore the selection of the named supplier under the council’s direct-award route. The contract is active and the award remains active. This is a completed procurement outcome, rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for paid digital campaign support within a district council’s communications function, at a scale suited to an established specialist provider or capable small and medium-sized enterprise. A credible future competitor would need to show practical experience developing and delivering digital campaigns, translating public-sector messages into audience-focused communications, and managing delivery over a full contract period. Useful evidence would include relevant campaign results, clear project management, dependable delivery, and an understanding of public authority communications requirements. Marketing agencies, digital engagement specialists and communications firms able to combine strategy with campaign execution are the closest fit. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold direct award also indicates a relatively focused, discrete requirement.
