This procurement falls under the advertising campaign services category, with the International Centre for Migration Policy Development securing the contract. The campaign will be executed across various regions, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was an open procedure (below threshold), and the contract period commenced on 15th September 2024, concluding on 31st May 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in strategic communications and public awareness campaigns, particularly those experienced in handling high-profile social issues. The campaign's goal to counter misinformation spread by unscrupulous visa agents necessitates expertise in persuasive communication and outreach. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) with a proven track record in advertising and public relations services are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts. Successfully engaging in these projects could bolster a business's reputation and portfolio, leading to further opportunities in governmental and international domains.
