Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured marketing and communications services for its “Get into Teaching on Campus Events” programme. The work supports events intended to promote teaching as a career and engage potential entrants on university or other campus locations. Delivery is described as covering the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. It is a services requirement rather than a goods or construction contract. The scope is therefore relevant to agencies and event specialists that can combine campaign communications, audience engagement and event delivery across a geographically broad programme for a central government education client.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. BAM Agency LTD was selected by the Department for Education on 31 July 2026, with an awarded value of £3,176,000. The contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 July 2028. The competition was run as a selective call-off from the GCA RM6124 Communications Marketplace dynamic purchasing system, rather than as an open standalone tender. The submission deadline was 8 June 2026 at 4pm. The requirement was advertised as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Awarding was for advertising and marketing services, covering the overall campus events requirement; no separate lots or additional award criteria are stated.

This award demonstrates substantial public-sector demand for agencies able to promote teaching careers through campus-based events and associated communications. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in marketing campaign delivery, event planning and operation, audience engagement, and coordination across multiple territories. Experience of communicating with prospective teachers, students or other education audiences would be directly relevant to the requirement. Suppliers should also be able to manage a geographically distributed programme for a central government department, combining consistent messaging with delivery suited to individual campuses and locations. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist agency with sufficient operational capacity and public-sector readiness.
