## Summary

Oxford City Council has successfully completed the procurement process for Creative Design Agency Services to OX Place, with contracts awarded to FULL COMMUNICATIONS LIMITED and CAST MEDIA GROUP LIMITED. The open procedure aimed to secure agencies to enhance OX Place's brand identity and marketing efforts for housing developments in Oxford. The procurement was divided into two lots: Lot 1 for corporate support and Lot 2 for scheme branding services, both completed under framework agreements and set to run from November 2025 to October 2029. The awarded services fall under the advertising and marketing category, with the procurement process addressing strategic digital marketing needs and website redevelopment according to the latest UK accessibility standards.

This procurement provides significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in creative design, marketing, and brand development, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality digital content and photography in-house and providing innovative branding solutions. SMEs like FULL COMMUNICATIONS LIMITED and CAST MEDIA GROUP LIMITED are well-placed to benefit, as they provide tailored, strategic support aligning with the dynamic needs of OX Place's housing sector projects. The procurement's open procedure and competitive bidding process, which saw fourteen bids, underscore the council's commitment to fostering collaboration with innovative design agencies, ensuring continued excellence and growth in Oxford's housing market.

## Notice

The appointed agency will be expected to lead on the ongoing development and implementation of the Contracting Authority, ensuring that our values and tone are communicated consistently across a wide range of media. This includes the production of brand-aligned digital and physical marketing materials for each housing development, overarching corporate content such as our annual report, and the strategic use of digital platforms and social media. As a central part of this commission, the agency will be required to deliver a robust, forward-thinking digital marketing strategy, with particular focus on social media content planning and delivery, paid advertising campaigns, and performance analysis. A key requirement of this tender is the ability to produce high-quality photography and video in-house, ensuring we can respond quickly to campaign needs and deliver professional content across platforms. An important focus of the upcoming period will also be the redesign and redevelopment of the OX Place website. The new site must be user-focused, responsive across all devices, and compliant with the latest UK accessibility guidelines (WCAG 2.2 or higher). It must provide intuitive navigation, integration with development-specific pages, and a search function allowing prospective buyers to easily find and explore new homes. The design should reflect current digital trends and best practices within the housing and development sector, benchmarking against both public sector and private developer competitors.
