Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about media buying, media relations in the UK public sector.
What counts as a media tender?
A media tender covers media buying and planning, media relations, and PR and crisis communications support. General digital marketing, advertising agency retainers and campaign delivery sit on Stotles' Marketing Tenders and Contracts page instead, with no literal keyword overlap between the two.
Who runs the largest media buying contracts in the public sector?
Transport operators and combined authorities run some of the largest media buying and planning frameworks in the corpus, alongside national bodies such as Welsh Government. Media relations and PR-focused contracts are more evenly spread across councils, agencies and public bodies of all sizes.
What's the difference between media buying and media relations?
Media buying and planning is about purchasing advertising space and airtime, choosing channels and managing campaign delivery. Media relations is about managing a public body's reputation with journalists and the public, often bundled with crisis communications support for when something goes wrong.
What CPV codes cover media tenders?
CPV 79340000 (Advertising and marketing services) is the dominant code, carried on 827 of the 1,816 notices matching this page's keyword filter. Media relations and PR-specific work sometimes carries a separate public relations code alongside it.
