## Summary

The procurement process undertaken by the Crown Commercial Service for the contracting of radio fillers distribution services is complete. This contract, awarded to TAG EUROPE LIMITED, falls under the category of radio broadcast transmission services (CPV: 64228200) and is intended for distribution throughout the United Kingdom on behalf of multiple government departments. With the procurement method being selective and initiated via a call-off from a framework agreement, the contract period extends from 17th November 2025 to 16th November 2026. The tender closed on 1st November 2025, and the awarded contract was published on 17th December 2025, marking its authoritative conclusion in the award stage.

This tender represents a pivotal opportunity for businesses capable of delivering digital distribution services, particularly those experienced in working with the media and broadcasting sectors. The nature of the content, aimed at promoting public health, welfare, and safety, offers a chance for businesses to align themselves with impactful governmental initiatives. Companies proficient in media asset management and distribution to commercial radio media owners, especially those that can facilitate large-scale operations across the UK, are well-suited to compete in such tenders. While this contract has already been awarded, similar opportunities may arise, providing potential growth paths for large businesses with the capability to manage government-related broadcasting services.

## Notice

Radio 'Fillers' are UK Government produced audio content assets, similar in format to paid adverts, for important public health, public welfare and safety messaging. The idea is that fillers may be chosen and aired free-of-charge at the discretion of radio stations, by filling any gaps in programming schedules. These Filler airtime spots are donated free-of-charge. GCS has a central fillers team on behalf of Government Departments to coordinate & maximise this free-of charge radio airtime. Radio stations are under no obligation to run Filler content, meaning scripting/messaging content that stations would like to use is crucial. So neutral content - not promoting activities of departments & ministers - and non-controversial messaging is important. To do this, and to compete with Charity sector fillers, government fillers are typically themed for public health, public welfare and general safety content, aimed at improving lives of citizens (examples include: Floods Action; Stop Smoking; Vaccinations; Drink Drive; Emergency Alerts). The requirement is for a digital delivery service to distribute Radio Filler assets to a range of UK Commercial Radio media owners. The fillers must be delivered to radio broadcasters on behalf of all subscribing government departments, so they are potentially aired in any free of charge, donated airspace.
