Media Buying Opportunity

Historic Royal Palaces Media Planning and Buying Services Tender

Historic Royal Palaces (HRP) is a registered charity, responsible for the care, conservation, and presentation of HM Tower of London (TOL), Hampton Court Palace (HCP), Kensington Palace State Apartments, (KP) the Banqueting House at Whitehall (BH), Kew Palace (KEW) and Hillsborough Castle and Gardens, (HCG) the official residence of HM The King in Northern Ireland and residence of the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.

The palaces are the setting for the stories that shapes us all, and we’re bringing them to people in ways that mean more to them. We want everyone to find themselves in the spaces and stories we share.

HRP derives its income principally from admissions, retail, licensing, commercial events, sponsorship and support from donors and members.

You can find out more about us on our website (www.hrp.org.uk).

We will be running a tender process for the provision of Media Planning and Buying Services commencing in March 2025 with the intention of awarding a contract in September 2025. The new contract will commence in March 2026 and is anticipated to be for a period of 3+2 years.

In preparation for this tender, we will be holding a Supplier Market Event. This event will provide the opportunity for suppliers to:

  • Hear about HRP’s requirements and this contract opportunity
  • Understand the tender process and timelines that will be followed 
  • Ask any questions regarding the contract
  • Meet the Project Team

The event will be held on the morning of 14 January 2025 at HM Tower of London from 10:30-12:30.

Suppliers who would like to attend should email [email protected] by 8 January 2025 and provide the name of their organisation and the full names of attendees.

Full details and joining instructions will be provided to interested suppliers closer to the time.

The tender process will be run through HRP’s e-tendering system, Delta e-Sourcing. Suppliers will need to register on Delta in order to participate in the tender process and can register here: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/register/.

We hope to see you at the supplier market event.
