Before you decide to bid

For a UK creative, digital or marketing agency, the tender “Contract for the Provision of Digital Marketing Tourism & Economic Development Services” from Petersfield Town Council is only worth pursuing if three conditions hold. First, the agency must be able to submit a complete response before 15 November 2026 at 23:59; late bids are normally rejected without being read. Second, the published value of £54,000 has to cover the work described, including the unpaid hours it takes to write and check a public-sector bid. Third, the agency should already hold the evidence buyers usually ask for: recent case studies of similar work, insurance certificates and, for many contracts, a social value commitment. Under the Procurement Act 2023, buyers publish their award criteria in the tender documents, so read those criteria on Find a Tender before writing anything. If one of the three conditions fails, skipping this tender is usually the better use of the agency's time.

Timeline to the deadline

There are about 9 days left. A realistic plan is: days 1–2 read the full pack and decide bid or no-bid; the first week draft answers; the second week collect evidence and price; the last two days check every mandatory document and submit at least 24 hours early.

What the value tells you

The estimated value of about £54,000 is a typical size for a small or mid-sized agency. Expect a full quality questionnaire with weighted questions and a separate price element, and check whether the value covers one year or the whole contract term including extensions.

How this procedure works

This is an open procedure: any supplier can submit a full bid in a single stage, so the competition may be wide and the written answers carry most of the weight.

The notice is classified under the category code 79340000. These CPV codes are how Petersfield Town Council tells search tools what it is buying. Save them as alert terms: buyers often reuse the same codes for the next contract of the same kind.

Checklist before you start writing

  • Download every document from Find a Tender: specification, questionnaire, pricing schedule, terms and conditions.
  • Note the clarification deadline, which is usually several days before the submission deadline.
  • List the mandatory pass/fail items (insurance levels, accreditations, minimum turnover) and confirm you meet each one.
  • Find the weighting of each question and spend your time in proportion to it.
  • Pick two or three case studies that match the scope, with results you can show.
  • Check that your organisation is registered on the Central Digital Platform if the notice was published under the Procurement Act 2023.
  • Plan to submit at least a day early: portals can be slow close to the deadline, and late bids are normally excluded.
