UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council intends to commission a marketing campaign for Hull Fostering, working alongside the council’s fostering team. The planned service is marketing and advertising to support the team’s fostering work; the market engagement session is intended to explain the council’s commissioning plans. Delivery is in Hull, England. This is a service contract rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. The council is seeking input from suppliers with an interest in delivering the campaign, so businesses specialising in marketing strategy, campaign development, advertising or communications for public services may find the plans relevant.

The process is at the planning stage: Hull City Council has set out an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The council expects a further notice on 14 October 2026. A market engagement session originally planned for 2 October 2026 was postponed, and a replacement session is to be advertised in due course. The indicative contract period runs from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2030, with a possible extension to 28 February 2032. The estimated value is £128,988 excluding VAT (£154,785 including VAT). The procurement is a single lot, and the council indicates that small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are suitable participants. No evaluation basis or procurement method is stated.

This is an early-stage prospect for suppliers able to work collaboratively with a local authority fostering team and deliver a marketing campaign. The council has indicated that the contract is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller agencies and specialist communications providers may be well placed to prepare alongside larger firms. Campaign strategy, creative development, advertising and audience engagement are relevant capabilities suggested by the scope. The market engagement is intended to give suppliers information about commissioning plans and offers a chance to understand the council’s intended service before a tender is issued. The campaign is planned as a multi-year service, potentially extending beyond its initial term, which may suit providers with capacity to maintain and adapt communications over time. No specific accreditations or experience requirements are set out at this stage.
