Campaigns, visual identity, media buying, research, public relations: detect every tender before your competitors with GPC Gov.
They win public contracts with GPC Gov
Awareness campaigns, visual identity overhauls, media buying, satisfaction surveys, social media management: Belgian institutions outsource most of their communication. Over the past twelve months nearly 3,550 contracts were published, by more than 1,400 contracting authorities.
This is a market of volume rather than size: many short assignments, awarded on portfolio and on the quality of the proposed team. For an agency the difficulty is not answering the brief, it is seeing the consultation go by at the right moment.

One-off creative assignments are rarely published. GPC Gov surfaces them anyway.
Public communication is bought in small amounts, which places it overwhelmingly below the publication thresholds: a regional campaign is visible to all, a municipal brochure or an institutional video is visible nowhere.
GPC Gov surfaces those consultations alongside official notices, filtered on your CPV codes. An agency then sees a steady flow of assignments its own size, instead of only the large contracts everyone is already chasing.

4,207 marketing, advertising and research contracts over the past twelve months, issued by 1,419 institutions. This is a market of volume rather than size: many short assignments, where engineering or works concentrate large amounts across fewer notices.
Municipalities and cities for their campaigns and newsletters, regions for awareness campaigns, federal and regional bodies, hospitals, universities and schools, museums and cultural institutions. That diversity explains the dispersion: 1,419 buyers for 4,207 contracts.
The 793xx and 7934x codes: 79310 and 79311 for research and surveys, 79313 for performance review, 79340 for advertising and marketing, 79341 for advertising, 79342 for marketing. Note that 79952 — event organisation — belongs to our events page, not this one.
The portfolio and the named team proposed, far more than price. Many specifications ask for a creative statement of intent, sometimes a mock-up. That is a significant investment to bid, which makes it all the more costly to learn of a contract three days before the deadline.
4% of contracts over the past twelve months. The figure reflects budget size: a municipal brochure or an institutional video stays below the thresholds and is ordered without publication, leaving it invisible to an agency that watches only the official channels.
