## Summary

Durham County Council procured corporate advertising services for council-wide service areas. The scope covers a broad mix of advertising and promotional channels: bus and other digital outdoor advertising, radio, television, cinema, press, web and social media advertising, exhibition marketing and distribution. The work is intended to support services across the council rather than a single named service. Delivery is in County Durham, England. The requirement is classified as advertising services (CPV 79341000).

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Durham County Council used a direct award below the public procurement threshold, without competition, for a single lot. Steve Davidson Advertising Limited was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and runs from 23 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £150,000 excluding VAT (£180,000 including VAT). The published procurement information gives no award date or stated evaluation basis, so the outcome cannot be linked to scored criteria or a comparative tender process.

For suppliers considering similar future work with Durham County Council, this contract indicates demand for coordinated advertising across council-wide services and a multi-channel delivery capability. Relevant experience would include planning and placing campaigns across outdoor transport advertising, digital outdoor media, broadcast, cinema, press, web and social media, as well as exhibition promotion and distribution. A credible provider would need to manage different channels as one corporate advertising service and support varied council service areas. The selected supplier is a small business, showing that the requirement was delivered by an SME; the data does not establish specific accreditations, staffing levels or technical qualifications as conditions of award.
