Lot details

Lot 1

We are running two tourism marketing campaigns that are currently running until March 2023. 1. A domestic marketing campaign that aims to change perceptions, and drive footfall to our region. 2. An international cultural campaign will deliver a digital marketing campaign for each our key target markets Australia, India, and Canada. The campaign will promote the regions permanent cultural assets, Birmingham 2022 Festival, and raise awareness and interest in the West Midlands as a cultural tourism destination both pre, during, and post-Games. WMGC procured the CCS Framework for Media Buying in December 2021 for both the Domestic and International Cultural Marketing Campaigns and appointed a single supplier to the framework which is valid until 21st May 2022. The framework has been retendered and our incumbent has retained the business as they are the only supplier on the Lot. The framework gives permission to directly call off where requirements are precise without opening to further competition. WMGC is satisfied that the framework route still delivers value for money based on the tendered rates which are still applicable to all contracts which be called off from this framework. Our anticipated spend for this financial year is: Year 2 = £335,000 Domestic Year 2 = 82,000 International Total Year 2 = 417,000

Contract periodFrom 7 Jan 2023 to 31 Mar 2023

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Advertising and marketing services (79340000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 7913,7414 median · 30.9 average (5,804 of 13,741 with a bid count)3.2 average (6,508 of 13,741 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

The framework was retendered and OMD Group Ltd retained the business, they are the only supplier on the Lot 1. The market is uncontested on media buying and it is a reasonable solution decision to proceed with OMD based on conditions that there is no reasonable alternative in the market.\nIn the case of this procurement competition is absent and only one supplier can provide the expertise to provide an integrated, end-to-end service for media buying on our existing marketing campaigns with no further competition needed or has capacity to complete on the scale required.",
