## Summary

The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is overseeing a Pan Government Collaborative Agreement for the provision of media services, titled "Media Services" under tender ID RM6123. The framework agreement will span 4 years, from the start date of 14 December 2021 to 13 June 2026. This contract, valued at £1.3 billion, is designed to serve Central Government Departments and other UK Public Sector Bodies across the nation, including local authorities, health services, police, fire and rescue services, education, and devolved administrations. Classified under CPV codes 79200000 (Accounting, auditing and fiscal services), 79340000 (Advertising and marketing services), and 92200000 (Radio and television services), the procurement method deployed is an open procedure. Notably, an extension of six months has been granted due to the implementation of the Procurement Act 2023, altering the framework’s closure date to 13 June 2026.

This extensive media services framework presents significant business growth opportunities, primarily for organisations specialising in media planning, buying, and execution. Given the wide scope of services required, a diverse range of businesses fit for this framework include media buying agencies, marketing consultancies, and digital advertising firms. Smaller and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given their eligibility. The transition period from the RM6003 Media Buying Framework, ending 22 May 2022, ensures a seamless shift for incumbents and new entrants, fostering a competitive market landscape. This tender is particularly suited for firms capable of delivering services within the declared CPV classifications, ensuring compliance with the necessary regulatory standards.
