## Summary

HMRC Valuation Office procured advertising and marketing services to promote surveyor roles. The work is for recruitment advertising aimed at supporting the organisation’s need for surveyors, and was delivered across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is HMRC Valuation Office, a central government public authority. The appointed provider is We Are Sunday Ltd, a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise. The requirement was specifically linked to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS): We Are Sunday Ltd was appointed as the marketing agency by RICS. The service therefore combines recruitment advertising with access to, or alignment with, a professional surveying body. The relevant classification is CPV 79340000, advertising and marketing services.

This procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and awarded to We Are Sunday Ltd. The award concerns a single lot and has active contract status. The contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 1 September 2027. Its value is £13,200 excluding VAT and £15,840 including VAT. The award date is not separately stated, but the contract details were recorded on 8 September 2026. The stated basis for the appointment was that We Are Sunday Ltd is officially appointed by RICS, rather than a competitive evaluation between bidders. The requirement covers advertising surveyor roles for HMRC Valuation Office.

This procurement indicates demand from HMRC Valuation Office for targeted recruitment advertising for professional surveying roles, delivered through a marketing agency officially appointed by RICS. Suppliers best placed for a comparable requirement would combine recruitment marketing capability with experience promoting specialist professional vacancies, particularly surveyor roles. Credibility would also depend on the ability to work through, or alongside, a recognised professional body and to reach relevant surveying audiences across the United Kingdom. A suitable competitor would need to provide a focused advertising service rather than general creative support alone, understand the recruitment objectives behind the campaign, and operate at the scale expected of a small specialist agency working for a central government buyer. Experience with public-sector communications or regulated professional audiences would strengthen its position.
