Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured a bowel screening campaign for people aged 50 to 60 in areas of Wakefield with bowel screening uptake below 60% and high levels of deprivation. The requirement covered the complete project, including insight work, campaign strategy and delivery. It is an advertising campaign service, intended to improve engagement with bowel screening among the identified population. The work is delivered in Wakefield. The NHS Trust is the buying organisation, and the requirement was structured as a single service lot. This is a public-sector health communications opportunity for agencies able to combine audience insight, strategic campaign planning and practical delivery focused on reducing inequalities in screening participation.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Wish Agency Ltd. The Trust used a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 1 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £16,700 excluding VAT, or £20,040 including VAT. The successful supplier is responsible for the whole project rather than a separate part of the requirement. The published procurement information identifies advertising campaign services as the basis of the award. The contract is active, while the tender itself is complete, so this particular requirement has already moved beyond supplier selection and contracting.

This award shows that Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust buys targeted, evidence-led health campaigns to address low screening uptake in deprived communities. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate audience insight capability, campaign strategy and end-to-end delivery, with the ability to translate research into communications that reach specific age groups and underserved areas. Experience in public health, screening, behaviour change or other sensitive health communications would help show that the agency can work appropriately with the subject matter and target population. Relevant strengths also include local audience understanding, measurable engagement planning and the capacity to manage a complete campaign for an NHS trust rather than providing only creative or media support.
