How they buy

Across the media, printing & advertising notices we currently hold for Canada, the most common form is the open tender or invitation to bid, followed by request for proposal, expression of interest and prequalification. Each has its own rules — see RFP, RFQ and EOI compared and tendering procedures explained.

What qualifies you

Media and communications procurement covers everything from bulk printing and signage supply to full campaign development and event documentation. Creative work is usually evaluated on quality as well as price, often requiring sample work, a creative pitch or storyboard alongside the technical proposal. Printing and signage contracts, by contrast, are typically rate contracts decided on price against a fixed specification. Check who owns the copyright in delivered work and whether media buying is included in or excluded from the fee.

Before committing effort, it is worth running a deliberate bid/no-bid decision and checking your submission against the responsiveness checklist.
