  • What counts as a media tender?

    A media tender covers media buying and planning, media relations, press office and media monitoring support, and video or photography commissioned alongside a campaign. General digital marketing, advertising agency retainers and standalone campaign delivery sit on Stotles' Marketing Tenders and Contracts page instead.

  • 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?

    Advertising and marketing services is the dominant heading across this page's notices. Media relations and PR-specific work sometimes carries a separate public relations code alongside it, and video or photography commissions carry their own motion-picture or photographic-services codes.
