UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured services for an East Midlands marketing mailing supporting foster-carer recruitment. The requirement was for one-time-use, partially addressed mailing data, selected using Acorn types showing the highest prevalence of foster carers. The work falls within mailing services and covers the provision of the data used for the campaign’s fulfilment. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. This is a targeted audience-selection and mailing-data requirement rather than a general advertising, creative or recruitment-service contract. Businesses with experience supplying audience data for public-sector campaigns, particularly data segmented by demographic or geographic characteristics, would find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a below-threshold procedure; the published method is recorded as unknown. One completed lot was awarded on 4 February 2026 to GI Solutions Group Limited and CACI Limited. The contract was signed on 4 February 2026, runs from 5 February to 31 March 2026, and is active. Its value is £48,000 excluding VAT and £57,600 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the procurement process leading to this joint award, although the award criteria are not set out here. The contract concerns mailing-data fulfilment for Derby City Council’s foster-carer marketing campaign.

This award indicates demand from Derby City Council for targeted mailing data to support foster-carer recruitment, using Acorn-based audience segmentation and partial addressing. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to source or manage one-time-use marketing data, identify areas or audiences with a high prevalence of foster carers, and provide data suitable for mailing fulfilment. Experience combining audience profiling with operational mailing services would be relevant, particularly where a supplier can support a defined public-sector campaign rather than only provide generic contact lists. The joint award to GI Solutions Group Limited and CACI Limited also shows that capability may span data insight and practical fulfilment delivery.
