Summary of the contracting process

NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board commissioned a communications and engagement campaign to increase uptake of flu vaccination across London. The requirement covers health and social work services, with the practical focus on reaching London audiences, encouraging vaccination and supporting public health objectives. The buyer is the NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board, based at Ferguson House, Marylebone Road, London. The work was arranged through a framework-based route and was intended as a single campaign requirement rather than separate geographic or service packages. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are communications, public relations, public engagement, behaviour-change and health campaign specialists able to develop and deliver messages that encourage people across London to take up seasonal flu vaccination.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Can Digital Solutions Limited was selected as supplier through a limited procedure using a direct award framework, without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement had one lot, described as a direct award framework, and the published lot status is cancelled, while the award and contract are active. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded, with both the lowest and highest valid bid valued at £329,000 GBP, indicating the contract value associated with the successful bid. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026. The available record does not set out a contract end date or duration, so no delivery period can be stated.

For businesses that did not win, this procurement demonstrates NHS demand for paid communications and engagement activity focused on increasing vaccination uptake across a major urban population. A credible future competitor would need to combine campaign strategy, audience insight, clear public-health messaging and practical engagement methods, with the capacity to deliver consistently across London. Experience of behaviour-change or immunisation campaigns would be directly relevant, as would evidence of reaching diverse communities and turning communications into measurable participation. Suppliers should also be comfortable working with an NHS integrated care organisation, translating health objectives into accessible content and coordinating campaign delivery at scale. The route used here shows that relevant suppliers should monitor direct-award framework opportunities as well as openly competed campaigns.
