Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured advertising services for digital advertising and advertising boards across multiple hospital sites. The selected partner is to install and manage the formats and operate them commercially, generating sustainable revenue for the Trust. Advertising must be appropriate, compliant and consistent with NHS values. The requirement combines practical delivery at hospital locations with the commercial operation of advertising space; it is not simply a campaign-planning brief. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust serving Mid and South Essex. The procurement covers one overall requirement, rather than separately described service lots, and concerns advertising formats placed across the Trust’s hospital estate.

The procurement has reached award stage. The Trust selected Pulse Outdoor Media Limited through an open procedure; the award is recorded as pending. The award date was 30 June 2026 and the awarded value is £30,000. The stated contract period runs from 4 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with two possible 12-month renewals and a maximum extent to 31 October 2031. Bids were assessed equally on the technical response and commercial response, each weighted at 50%. The requirement was arranged as one lot. Two bids were received and both reached the final stage. The contract is for advertising services across the Trust’s hospital sites.

The requirement demonstrates demand for a supplier able to combine installation of advertising formats with their ongoing management and commercial operation across a multi-site NHS hospital estate. A credible competitor would need operational capacity to coordinate delivery across multiple hospitals, maintain and manage digital advertising and board formats, and generate revenue from the placements. It would also need robust controls to ensure displayed advertising is appropriate and compliant with the Trust’s requirements and NHS values. The equal weighting of technical and commercial responses indicates that a future competitor would need to demonstrate both a convincing delivery approach and a commercially sound offer. Two bidders reached the final stage, including one SME, showing that the competition was not limited to large suppliers.
