Campaign Tenders

See open campaign tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Campaign briefs reach the market as advertising campaign services, public awareness work, behaviour change programmes and integrated communications. Councils, police and crime commissioners and health bodies are the regular buyers. Stotles tracks 2,241 notices matching this filter, 1,049 of them already awarded.

A campaign is rarely tendered alone. It usually sits inside a creative agency or media buying framework, so the title names the campaign while the CPV code says advertising. Another 113 are at pre-tender.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about advertising campaign, communications campaign, awareness campaign, campaign planning, campaign development, campaign strategy, integrated campaign, digital campaign, behaviour change campaign, campaign delivery in the UK public sector.

  • How do I find public sector campaign tenders?

    Two routes. Search the portals for live campaign briefs, or move earlier and watch the buyers instead. Stotles pulls notices from 100+ portals into one place, and platform-wide 0 notices were added in the last seven days. Campaign work often shows up first in a communications strategy or a committee paper, well before a tender opens, which is the point at which a supplier can still influence the brief.

  • What kinds of campaigns do public bodies tender for?

    Behaviour change is the biggest single strand in the notices read for this page: recycling, stop smoking, screening uptake, gambling harms, violence prevention. Public awareness and safety messaging sits next to it. Then come place and service marketing campaigns, and one-off launch campaigns tied to a single policy decision or announcement. The brief is usually creative plus media, sometimes with evaluation attached.

  • What CPV codes are used for campaign contracts?

    The code that matters most is 79341400 (Advertising campaign services), which appears on 537 notices alongside this page's keyword filter. Broader codes carry more of the volume: 79340000 (Advertising and marketing services) covers 777, and 79416000 (Public relations services) covers 142. Codes are not applied as a filter here, because a campaign notice is often filed under a printing, design or research code instead.

  • Are campaign contracts usually awarded through frameworks?

    Often. Creative, marketing and media buying frameworks are common, and individual campaigns get called off against them by mini competition rather than a fresh procurement each time. In Stotles' 2026 Supplier Survey, 44% of suppliers named frameworks as their main route to market. For campaign work that route matters more than most, because a single campaign is small and buyers would rather not run a full tender for each one.

  • How many campaign tenders are open at any one time?

    Fewer than the totals suggest. Open campaign tenders were at 14 when this page was measured, against 2,241 notices on record and 1,049 awarded, because campaigns are short and get awarded quickly. Platform-wide there are 2,123 tenders open now. The results listed on this page are queried live, so treat those as the current answer rather than this text.
