UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Peabody Trust sought to establish a multi-supplier framework for public relations agencies. The services covered strategic and operational communications for new development and placemaking activity, corporate and customer communications, media relations, stakeholder engagement, campaign planning and delivery, content creation, brand activation, event support, influencer engagement, homeowner case studies and strategic communications advice. The requirement was for work across the United Kingdom, supporting Peabody’s development, sales, marketing and communications activities. It was a services procurement for public relations support, including development and regeneration PR. The framework was intended to give Peabody access to specialist agencies for individual projects, using direct awards or further competitions depending on the work required.

The procurement reached tender: Peabody invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure, with an initial Selection Questionnaire followed by detailed tender responses from shortlisted suppliers. Expressions of interest were due by 15:00 on 17 July 2026, and enquiries closed at 15:00 on 10 July 2026. The planned contract period was 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2030, with an estimated value of £350,000 excluding VAT and £420,000 including VAT. There was one lot, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, with quality carrying 100% of the evaluation weighting. The procurement and award decision were cancelled on 21 July 2026. Peabody said the documentation may not have clearly distinguished the framework’s intended scope and plans to republish it after clarification.

The opportunity suited established public relations agencies able to provide both strategic advice and hands-on delivery across development communications, events and related campaigns. Relevant strengths included property-sector experience, campaign planning and delivery, media relations, stakeholder engagement, content creation, brand activation, influencer engagement and corporate or customer communications. Agencies needed the technical and professional ability to pass Peabody’s participation requirements and demonstrate relevant experience. The procedure was designed to appoint between three and five suppliers, creating potential work through direct awards and mini-competitions for specialist projects. Bidders also needed to prepare a social value proposal using the HACT Social Value Insight Tool. The stated focus was communications supporting sales and marketing of Shared Ownership and Private Sale homes in new-build developments.
