UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council is planning a marketing campaign for Hull Fostering, working alongside the Hull Fostering Team to support delivery of the service. The requirement is for marketing and advertising services, including the development and delivery of a campaign connected with fostering in Hull. The work will support the council’s fostering commissioning plans and is intended for activity delivered in Hull. This is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. The council is seeking input from marketing agencies, communications consultancies and other providers with relevant campaign delivery capability. The procurement is expected to suit smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises as well as larger commercial suppliers with experience of public-facing campaigns.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Hull City Council has stated an intention to procure and has not issued an invitation to tender. The council has scheduled preliminary market engagement, including an online information event on 2 October 2026 from 3.00pm to 4.00pm, to explain its commissioning plans. The buyer expects a subsequent notice on 14 October 2026. The estimated contract value is £128,988 excluding VAT, or £154,785 including VAT. The planned contract period is 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2030, with renewal provision extending the maximum period to 28 February 2032. There is one planned lot. The procurement is above the relevant threshold, and the evaluation basis and procurement procedure have not yet been set out.

The work is likely to suit marketing agencies, advertising specialists, communications consultancies and creative campaign providers able to plan and deliver an end-to-end public-facing campaign. Relevant strengths may include audience insight, brand and message development, digital and traditional media, content creation, campaign planning, stakeholder engagement and performance measurement. Suppliers with experience of recruitment campaigns, public services, local government or fostering-related communications should be well placed to contribute, particularly where they can demonstrate sensitivity when communicating with prospective foster carers and communities. The council has indicated that the requirement is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations may be able to prepare alongside established agencies.
