Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine appointed a design agency for flexible, creative design support across the International Vector Control Consortium’s communications and advocacy work. The services cover engagement with funders, industry partners, national malaria control programmes and stakeholders in malaria-affected countries. The requirement includes advertising and marketing services, graphic design, printing and related services, and website design. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the work supporting communications connected to malaria control internationally. This is a communications design services opportunity for agencies able to provide integrated creative support across stakeholder materials, digital content, printed outputs and advocacy activity. The buyer is Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, based in Liverpool.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to 400 Communications Ltd on 18 June 2026. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and runs from 6 July 2026 to 5 July 2027. Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine may extend it on up to two occasions, for up to two years on each occasion, with a maximum end date of 5 July 2029. The awarded gross value is £84,000. This was a below-threshold open competition. Bids were due by 26 May 2026, with enquiries closing on 18 May 2026. Evaluation weighted quality at 90% and price at 10%. The single lot was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and 31 bids reached the final stage.

This award shows demand from Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine for an agency that can combine strong creative quality with practical delivery across marketing, graphic design, print and web design. A credible competitor would need a broad in-house or managed capability rather than a narrow design specialism, with experience turning complex public health or scientific messages into clear materials for funders, commercial partners, government programmes and international stakeholders. The requirement favours agencies able to work flexibly across channels, manage varied outputs and maintain consistent visual communications for audiences in malaria-affected countries. The 90% quality weighting indicates that relevant creative approach, understanding of the brief, delivery capability and evidence of effective work would be more important than lowest price. The opportunity was accessible to SMEs and attracted substantial competition.
