Summary of the contracting process

Health Data Research UK procured digital advertising services to support its engagement, communications and marketing activities. The requirement covers buying advertising space and inventory across Google’s digital advertising network through the Google Ads platform, with the aim of increasing audience reach, awareness and engagement. This is a services contract for advertising and marketing activity, classified under CPV 79340000. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The buyer is Health Data Research UK, based in London. The work is therefore relevant to suppliers involved in digital advertising, paid media buying, campaign planning or marketing communications, particularly those able to work with Google’s advertising network and support a public-sector or research-focused organisation’s audience-growth objectives.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. There was one completed lot. Google UK Limited was awarded the contract on 30 July 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its gross value is £120,000. The selected supplier will provide digital advertising space through Google Ads and Google’s digital advertising network for Health Data Research UK’s engagement, communications and marketing activities. The award is recorded as active and the contract is active. The procurement used a direct route rather than a competitive tender, so the outcome reflects a supplier able to provide the specified platform-based advertising service directly.

This procurement shows demand from Health Data Research UK for a defined digital advertising buying service focused on audience reach, awareness and engagement. A credible competitor for a future requirement of the same kind would need practical expertise in planning and purchasing paid digital advertising inventory across Google’s network, using Google Ads or an equivalent capability where permitted. Relevant strengths would include campaign targeting, budget control, performance monitoring and the ability to connect advertising activity with communications and marketing objectives. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate dependable delivery for a UK-wide audience and understand the needs of a research or public-interest organisation. The successful supplier’s large-company scale indicates that operational capacity and direct platform access may be important commercial considerations.
