This opportunity is part of a significant marketing transformation project occurring as NCS transitions to a Royal Charter Body. Located in London, the procurement is in the Tender stage, with a closing date for the Selection Questionnaire (SQ) set for 28 February 2019. The anticipated contract duration starts on 15 May 2019 and extends until 15 May 2023, with a potential total value between £4 million and £10 million. This tender presents promising opportunities for businesses, particularly those within the advertising and marketing sectors. Agencies specialising in brand development, creative strategy, and digital marketing will find a suitable fit for this contract, especially those capable of delivering sharp brand propositions and identity tailored for the digital landscape. As NCS aims to enhance its brand awareness and engagement among young people, businesses equipped with innovative and impactful campaign solutions will be well-positioned to compete successfully. ## Notice National Citizen Service (NCS) is the country's fastest-growing youth movement, a rite of passage for all teenagers aged 15-17 to discover who they are and what they can do. Nearly 500,000 young people have already taken part. Find out more at www.ncsyes.co.uk NCS currently has the following opportunity for the provision of Brand & Creative Services. This tender is part of a wider marketing transformation project in a pivotal year for the organisation as we have moved to become a Royal Charter Body and carry out a comprehensive recommissioning of our partner network. NCS is ambitious to grow and inspire more young people to participate in the programme. Whilst greater control of the network to deliver recruitment and sign ups via re-commissioning, media efficiencies and digital acceleration will ensure incremental gains, awareness of and perception of the NCS brand is a major blocker amongst young people, parent & guardians and the wider general public. We are looking for an agency who can help us deliver a razor sharp brand proposition, a brand identity that is fit for purpose in the digital age and a creative platform that can not only cut through the clutter but live and breathe through every single touchpoint in our customer journey to make NCS the best known and loved youth movement brand in the UK. NCS requires a brand and creative agency partner to initially design and deliver our brand identity project, and continue on as our lead creative partner on a campaign basis for the duration of the contract term.
