Summary of the contracting process

NHS England is seeking tenders for the "PCREF Communications Video Strategy", a national campaign aimed at assisting NHS mental health providers in implementing the Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework. The project, valued at £48,600, focuses on creating co-produced, accessible digital content, including explainer videos and case studies, to foster workforce behavioural change and improve patient and carer experiences. The procurement falls under the health services category, and it is currently at the tender stage. Potential suppliers need to submit their proposals by 17th February 2026. The contract period is scheduled from 26th February 2026 to 31st March 2026, with options for a three-month extension.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in digital communications, video production, and community engagement services, particularly those experienced in co-production and healthcare content. The open competition procurement method favours small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). With the award criteria placing 70% weight on technical and social value, businesses with strong capabilities in these areas stand a good chance of securing the contract, enabling them to expand their portfolio and contribute to a vital national health initiative.
