## Description
Government Media call-off for advertising across a range of media channels including: TV, Print, Digital display, Search Engine and Social Media.
Commercial approach is to source this requirement through CCS framework - Media and Creative Services RM6364 - Lot 1 Media Strategy, Planning and Buying
The contract will be a call-off contract for a value of up to £4million for 4 years. ONS is required to have a call-off contract set up for this type of requirement.
Also, the Procurement Act 2023 permits an award without competition (direct award) where a framework agreement has been established through a compliant competitive process. The RM6364 framework fully satisfies this requirement. Rather than eliminating competition, this model concentrates it at the point where it delivers greatest value. CCS maintains robust supplier relationship management, including quarterly financial compliance audits, annual price performance audits, bi-annual customer satisfaction surveys, and ad-hoc NPS scores after large campaign. CCS have already run a competition and the sole supplier on Lot 1 is the best choice.
