## Summary

Ordnance Survey Limited, a public undertaking organisation located in Southampton, UK, has recently completed the procurement stages and awarded a contract for a Broadcast Public Relations Agency to Eckhart Ltd. The procurement process included limited competition below the threshold, aimed at acquiring services for consumer broadcast campaigns to enhance brand awareness and support various consumer business objectives. The contract, signed on 16 February 2026, will commence on 1 March 2026 and spans two years with an option to extend annually for an additional year, potentially totalling three years of service delivery. This involves strategic public relations engagements such as product launches and leveraging brand ambassadors, targeting television, radio, and podcasts.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in public relations, particularly those experienced in broadcast campaigns. Eckhart Ltd, a large-scale enterprise, has been chosen to collaborate with Ordnance Survey’s in-house PR team, suggesting that similar businesses with expertise in media relations and consumer engagement could find comparable procurement opportunities beneficial. Companies with innovative marketing strategies and strong capabilities in reaching diverse audiences across varied media channels may find lucrative potential in competing for similar tenders, as government projects often seek to amplify their reach and impact through professional services.

## Notice

OS has appointed a Broadcast Public Relation agency to support the in-house PR team in delivering successful consumer broadcast campaigns. The agency will work with the in-house team to develop and deliver campaigns (estimated 2-3 per year) supporting the consumer business unit, including product launches, research results and increasing brand awareness around key milestones and events such as Christmas, Map Reading Week and National Get Outside Day. There will also be additional ad-hoc national and regional public relations support required for book launches, consumer partnerships and to leverage OS brand ambassadors. The agency will be responsible for delivering a complete range of Broadcast Public Relations services. This includes developing creative and strategic concepts that are tailored to OS's target audiences and designed to strengthen the brand's presence across television, radio, and podcasts. The agency will ensure that all ideas align with OS's consumer objectives and reflect the company's mission to help people explore the outdoors safely and enjoyably. The contract will be for two years with the option to extend annually for a further one year (2+1). Therefore, if all extensions were taken the full length of the contract would be for three years. The start date of the contract is 1 March 2026.
