Advertising by my Department is the subject of a drawdown contract which is put out to tender on a regular basis by the Government Supplies Agency (GSA). The Department's advertising is placed under the GSA contract with the selected advertising agency, except for recruitment notices, which are placed through the Public Appointments Service and certain other advertisements, which go through the Office of Public Works or the Government Publications Office.

The attached table shows the total amounts spent on advertising each year on behalf of my Department.
