Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside commissioned an advertising and public awareness campaign titled Just Don’t Campaign. The work covers the Humber area and its four local authority areas, recognising differences between communities and their needs. The appointed provider is expected to develop an impactful campaign with meaningful long-term engagement, informed by feedback from independent advisory groups and practitioners. The scope includes a detailed two-year campaign plan and the rebranding of existing one-minute video and social media assets. These assets are to be adapted for online use, digital screens and billboards. This is a public-sector communications and marketing services requirement, with delivery across the Humber area and associated Humberside communities.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. HITCH MARKETING LIMITED was selected through a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline was 27 May 2025 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 20 May 2025 at 12:00. Evaluation placed 20% on price, 70% on quality and 10% on social value. The estimated lot value was £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 4 July 2025 and runs from 10 July 2025 to 9 July 2027. Its value is £39,915 excluding VAT, or £47,898 including VAT. The opportunity was a single lot and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from the Humberside police and crime commissioner for end-to-end public awareness campaign capability, rather than standalone advertising placement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to plan and manage a long-running, area-wide campaign across distinct local communities, using research and engagement with advisory groups and practitioners to shape delivery. Relevant capability includes strategic campaign planning, community insight, stakeholder listening, public-sector communications and social value delivery. Suppliers should also be able to refresh and rebrand short-form video and social media content for online channels, digital screens and billboards, while maintaining a coherent campaign identity across formats. The strong quality weighting indicates that evidence of creative approach, delivery methodology and measurable impact would be important alongside competitive pricing.
