In plain English
Belfast City Council is planning a new list of approved suppliers for marketing and communications work, covering brand strategy, design, copywriting and content, and advertising and media. This notice is an early heads-up with a pre-market engagement session; the actual tender comes later this year, with the contract running from April 2027 to February 2029.
Good fit for: Marketing, design, copywriting or media-buying agencies in or near Northern Ireland.
- Several suppliers will be appointed, so work is not guaranteed once you're on the list
- Contract doesn't start until April 2027, so no income from it in the near term
