UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned a communications and marketing campaign to raise awareness of Section 7A screening and immunisation offers and encourage people to take them up. The campaign includes seasonal flu and COVID-19 vaccination offers, with a focus on increasing uptake among groups and communities with the lowest uptake. The work is health communications and marketing rather than the delivery of clinical screening or vaccination services. The recorded campaign is for the North West (NW), although no specific towns or delivery sites are identified. The requirement is aimed at suppliers able to develop and deliver public-facing communications that promote NHS screening and immunisation programmes and reach communities with lower participation.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. NHS England selected Ice Creates Ltd through a direct award without competition, under a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and runs from 18 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £82,950 excluding VAT (£99,540 including VAT). The procurement was structured as one lot, and the recorded award relates to that lot. The stated purpose of the campaign was to raise awareness and increase uptake, particularly among groups and communities with the lowest uptake; no separate scored evaluation criteria are recorded. Ice Creates Ltd was the selected supplier.

This award shows NHS England’s demand for targeted communications and marketing that can explain screening and immunisation offers and help improve uptake among communities with lower participation. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to plan and deliver public-facing health campaigns, communicate clearly about vaccination and screening, and tailor engagement to groups that are less likely to take up services. The North West focus makes regional audience insight and the ability to reach relevant communities commercially pertinent. The selected supplier is a small business, showing that the work was delivered by an SME rather than necessarily requiring a large national agency. The requirement centres on campaign communications and behaviour change, not clinical service provision.
