This contract falls within the marketing and advertising services industry category and is set to be executed in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement is at the 'Tender' stage, with a tender submission deadline of 16 April 2018. The total contract value is £55,000, and the service period will commence on 1 May 2018, extending until 31 October 2018. The procurement method is an open procedure under threshold requirements. This tender presents significant opportunities for marketing and advertising agencies, particularly those with expertise in digital media and social media campaigns. Businesses that specialise in creating engaging video content and have the capacity to manage advertising placements over a six-month period will be well-placed to compete. The tender aims to drive inward investment into the Didcot Growth Accelerator, presenting a unique opportunity for agencies to demonstrate their capabilities in targeted marketing for strategic initiatives. ## Notice The requirement is for a media buying agency to supply the Council with a service to buy social media and digital advertising for Spring 2018. The advertising slots are required to appear across a period of up to 6 months starting May 2018. This is to support the marketing activity we are running to drive UK and international inward investment into the strategically important Enterprise Zones in and around Didcot called the Didcot Growth Accelerator. The advertising format will be a series of differently themed Science Vale business and lifestyle short video clips (run times from 45 seconds to 1 minute) with links through to a landing page on the website sciencevale.com. This page will display the whole series of different video clips for people to view alongside a contact capture form. Outside of a small Facebook and mobile web campaign in October 2017, no other social media advertising has been carried out to date. The design and artwork for all advertising and short video clips will be supplied by a third party (Kineticwecreate Ltd). All necessary artwork and videos will be supplied through Kinetic in the required format within the agreed deadlines. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c1c2453e-146f-4e29-8c5c-12f5d629b30e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Mar 2018 | | Submission deadline | 16 Apr 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2018 - 31 Oct 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £55,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTH OXFORDSHIRE DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | SOUTHAMPTON | | Post town | Southampton | | Postcode | SO14 3LP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ32 Southampton | | Local authority | Southampton | | Electoral ward | Bargate | | Westminster constituency | Southampton Itchen | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79340000 - Advertising and marketing services - 79342000 - Marketing services ## Release History - 22 Mar 2018 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c1c2453e-146f-4e29-8c5c-12f5d629b30e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c1c2453e-146f-4e29-8c5c-12f5d629b30e 22nd March 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR153194 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
