Summary of the contracting process

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board is seeking campaign media-buying services for Wales HIV Testing Week 2026 and a PReP campaign. The work supports Public Health Wales’s objectives to improve sexual health, reduce health inequalities and increase HIV testing through free online kits and community venues. Campaign activity is intended to build knowledge of HIV and testing, motivate relevant audiences to take action, and improve awareness and understanding of PReP, including how people at risk of HIV infection can access free treatment. The procurement is categorised as education and training services (CPV 80000000), although the practical requirement is media planning and buying for public health communications. Delivery is centred on Wales, with the listed delivery coverage including the United Kingdom and wider locations.

This procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 21 September 2026 at 10:00. The contract period runs from 22 September 2026 at 10:00 to 22 September 2026 at 23:59:59. The tender is for goods under the published procurement category, with no separate lots described. The evaluation will be based on proposals prepared in accordance with section 10 of the specification; bidders were required to read the full specification and upload their proposal in the stated manner. Failure to follow those instructions results in elimination. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Access to the competition and submission of offers was through the MultiQuote supplier platform.

This opportunity suits media-buying agencies and communications specialists able to plan and purchase campaign media for public health audiences in Wales. Relevant suppliers will need to translate HIV testing and PReP messages into campaigns that build public knowledge, increase motivation and prompt people at risk of HIV infection to seek testing or treatment. Experience in health, sexual-health or other behaviour-change communications would be directly relevant to the campaign objectives, alongside the ability to identify and reach relevant audiences through suitable media channels. The requirement is presented as suitable for SMEs, so it may fit an established specialist agency or a smaller team with strong campaign delivery capability. Suppliers must be able to develop a compliant written proposal and follow the specification’s submission instructions precisely.
