Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority commissioned a services contract for a creative agency to design and deliver the MRWA Food Waste Prevention campaign for 2026/27. The work is a strategic behavioural-change campaign under the Zero Waste LCR brand, intended to raise awareness of household food waste and encourage food-waste prevention behaviours across the Liverpool City Region. It covers advertising, marketing and advertising campaign services, with delivery in the North West of England. The requirement is focused on public-facing communications rather than waste collection, treatment or infrastructure. Businesses specialising in creative campaigns, behaviour-change communications, public information programmes, or sustainability messaging would find the subject matter relevant. The buyer is based in Liverpool and the campaign serves households across the wider Liverpool City Region.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed at 12:00 on 13 July 2026. The estimated procurement value was between £28,450 and £34,450. The contract was awarded to Social Change on 27 August 2026 for £28,450, covering the period from 27 August 2026 to 30 November 2026. The award is active. Evaluation was conducted through the open tender process for advertising and marketing services, including advertising campaign services. The award record identifies one supplier and one requirement. The contract is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The successful supplier is Social Change.

This award demonstrates that Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority buys short-term, specialist communications support to influence household behaviour around food waste. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to combine creative agency capability with strategic behaviour-change expertise and the ability to turn waste-prevention objectives into clear, engaging public messaging. Relevant experience would include designing and delivering advertising or awareness campaigns for public bodies, communities or sustainability programmes, particularly where success depends on changing everyday household habits rather than simply communicating information. Suppliers should be able to work under an established public-facing brand, understand the Liverpool City Region audience, and deliver integrated campaign activity across the North West. The opportunity is explicitly suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller creative, communications and behavioural-insight agencies.
