UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Business Services Authority has recently completed a procurement process for the "W231259 Meta Advertising July/August Campaigns" project. This contract involves the delivery of three marketing campaigns focused on NHS Healthy Start, NHS Matex/Medex, and NHS Eligibility Tracker, all facilitated through Meta's platforms. Classified within the advertising and marketing services industry, the project is set in the United Kingdom. The procurement utilised a direct award method, finalising the decision due to the unique capabilities offered by the sole viable supplier, Meta (UK) Limited. The contract runs from 20th July 2026 to 31st March 2027, with a gross value amounting to £214,200, highlighting its significance in supporting public health communications.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for large-scale marketing and advertising firms capable of leveraging Meta's broad digital reach and platform influence. Collaboration with NHS on this initiative not only promises financial gains but also strengthens participating businesses' portfolios in executing high-impact health-oriented advertising campaigns. Companies with strong digital marketing competencies, particularly those skilled in creating engaging health communication content, would find this endeavour particularly rewarding, with the potential for future engagements with public health authorities seeking similar expertise.
