Summary of the contracting process

The Big Lottery Fund, located in London, is initiating a tender for the "A Better Start" campaign aimed at promoting early social, emotional, and language development for children from pregnancy to age four. This procurement falls under the public relations services category and is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 3rd November 2017. Interested parties can bid for one or both of the two identified lots: one for supporting communications and another for campaign evaluation. The selected contract period is from 6th December 2017 until 3rd December 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in communications and evaluation services, particularly those with expertise in social campaigns targeting children and families. As the Fund encourages participation from SMEs, businesses with a strong background in public relations and a proven ability to engage local communities will be well-positioned to compete for this contract, leveraging their skills to make a meaningful impact on early childhood development.
