The UK government is creating an approved list of suppliers who can design, install, and maintain outdoor advertising for government departments and agencies. If you're selected for this list, you'll be pre-qualified to bid on individual advertising projects without competing from scratch each time.
Requirements
- Must be able to design outdoor advertising materials (posters, billboards, digital displays)
- Must have experience installing advertising in outdoor public spaces
- Must have experience maintaining and managing outdoor advertising installations
- Must comply with UK advertising standards and regulations (ASA Code)
- Must have public liability insurance (minimum amount to be confirmed in full tender documents)
- Must be able to work with government procurement processes and timelines
- Must demonstrate experience with similar-scale projects (check full documents for minimum project values)
- Must provide references from previous clients
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Design creative outdoor advertising campaigns for government messaging
- Source and procure advertising space (billboards, transit advertising, digital screens)
- Manage installation and deployment of advertising materials to specified locations
- Monitor advertising placements to ensure visibility and compliance with specifications
- Maintain advertising installations (repairs, cleaning, removal when campaign ends)
- Produce reports and evidence of advertising delivery and performance
- Liaise with local authorities and venue owners where required for permissions
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is an 'Approved List' or 'Framework' contract — getting on the list doesn't guarantee work, but means you can bid on future projects without tendering again. Read the full documents to see how long you'll stay on the list and what renewal process applies.
- 2Look carefully at the insurance requirements and any accreditations needed (the description mentions standards compliance but the specific amounts and certifications are in the full tender documents — you must get those details).
- 3Check whether this is a single supplier list or whether the government plans to have multiple approved suppliers. If multiple, competition will be lower; if single, the selection will be very competitive.
- 4Outdoor advertising involves regulatory approval from local councils and sometimes the Advertising Standards Authority — flag in your bid that you understand these processes and have contacts/experience navigating them.
- 5Search the contract for 'call-off' or 'mini-competition' language — this tells you whether once on the list, you'll automatically get work or have to compete each time a new project is announced.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're smaller, consider partnering with a larger advertising firm or media buyer as a subcontractor — they may handle the relationship with government while you do the design or installation work, spreading the risk.
- Government advertising often includes 'social value' scoring (e.g. local employment, environmental impact). If you hire locally, use sustainable materials, or support apprenticeships, highlight this in your bid — it can be a deciding factor.
- Before bidding, contact the government department running this (details in the tender notice) and ask: 'What's the typical annual spend on advertising?' and 'How many suppliers do you plan to approve?' This helps you decide if it's worth the bid effort.
