## Summary

The planned procurement process by the Money and Pensions Service, a public authority within the central government of the United Kingdom, is focused on appointing a media agency for their "Media Buying" tender. This procurement, falling under the services category, is aimed at delivering media buying for various campaigns including the MoneyHelper Pensions Dashboard campaign during the financial year 2026/27. The procurement method will be selective, awarding contracts under a framework agreement, with a planned start date of 8th June 2026 and an end date of 7th June 2028. The procurement, valued at £5,050,000 (net), targets regions within the United Kingdom, specifically UKH2. It is currently in the planning stage with key contract dates established.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in advertising and media services, particularly those experienced in digital and traditional media purchasing, campaign optimisation, and performance reporting. Companies that are proficient in translating media strategies into effective channel-level plans and have the capability to manage campaigns within predefined budgets and timelines will find this contract beneficial for business growth. Given the non-competitive, selective procurement method under a framework, agencies with prior experience in public sector tenders and media strategy implementations may find themselves well-suited to participate and secure this business opportunity.

## Notice
