Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has completed the tendering process for the "Step into the NHS Communications Campaign," focusing on advertising and marketing services to enhance NHS careers. The campaign aims to highlight career opportunities, debunk misconceptions about working within the NHS, and improve job-seeking skills in educational settings. The procurement method used was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The value of the awarded contract was £149,100, with a contract period starting on 11th December 2023 and ending on 11th December 2025. The procurement was classified under CPV code 79340000. The project will be implemented across England, with notable locations including Leeds (LS2 7UE). The award was recorded on 10th September 2024, following the end of the tender period on 26th October 2023.

This tender opens up significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advertising and marketing services. Companies with experience in running comprehensive communications campaigns, particularly those that focus on promoting careers and educational initiatives, would be well-positioned to benefit. Participation in such a project can enhance a company’s portfolio and provide substantial exposure within the public sector, helping to establish strong working relationships with a major public health entity such as NHS England.
