Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council has initiated an open tender process for a Framework Agreement titled "Framework Agreement for the Provision of Public Health Behavioural Change Marketing," under the industry category of advertising, marketing, public relations, and health services. The Framework aims to secure a single provider to deliver comprehensive marketing services aimed at achieving measurable behaviour changes aligned with Public Health priorities. The services are to be provided within the region of Derbyshire, with the framework commencing on 1st December 2026 and running until 30th November 2028, with potential extensions reaching up to 2030. The tender, identified by the code CPH139, has completed its tendering phase as of 5th June 2026, with an award expected by 21st August 2026. The total framework value is estimated at £4,000,000, exclusive of VAT, and falls under the legal auspices of the Procurement Act 2023. Key considerations also include potential modifications due to Local Government Reorganisation (LGR).

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in behavioural change marketing services, as it stipulates a single-provider framework that facilitates direct awards for call-off contracts. Companies with demonstrated expertise in developing and executing strategically targeted marketing campaigns, media planning, audience segmentation, and campaign evaluation will find this framework particularly advantageous. The contract encourages participation from SMEs, aiming to stimulate economic growth and innovation within the sector. With a considerable estimated contract value and a flexible framework agreement that could be adapted to future organisational changes, businesses poised to meet these requirements stand to expand their portfolios and establish a long-term relationship with Derbyshire County Council.
