We have a new and improved Advertising Solutions framework (3A) offering a quick, simple and competitive route to procure a range of advertising solutions to support you as much as you need when navigating these campaigns.


What does the framework cover?

The framework offers access to pre-approved service providers who have been selected for their ability to provide customers with a comprehensive range of services that combine quality and value. These service providers can be appointed using efficient and streamlined procurement processes; ensuring that customers obtain value-for-money services that meet their requirements.

The framework is comprised of the following six Lots:
 

Lot 1 Recruitment Advertising & Related Services	Lot 2 Public Notices Advertising	Lot 3 Campaign Advertising & Related Services
