The Government Communication Service has announced that following a procurement process OmniGOV has been awarded as sole supplier for media buying under Lot 1 of Crown Commercial Service’s (CCS) RM6123 Media Services framework agreement.

Originally appointed in 2018, OmniGOV @ MG OMD have worked on some of the largest and most significant campaigns from the Government ever – including EU Exit, communications throughout the Covid 19 Pandemic and many vital campaigns for over 85 clients in central government and the wider public sector.

The OmniGOV team were awarded Agency Team of the Year at the Campaign Media Awards in 2020 and 2021, and most recently won three Effies for the Government’s We Are The NHS and COVID19 app launch campaigns.
