## Summary

NHS Improvements is seeking to extend its contract titled "Continuing Support for the Media Team - Broadcast - CT" to provide additional resources for its media team amid the ongoing challenges posed by COVID-19. This tender, classified under health and social work services, is currently complete, with the contract period having commenced on 1st July 2020 and concluding on 30th September 2020. The procurement method employed was a direct single tender action due to its below-threshold value of £33,696, with the award officially made on 9th July 2020.

This opportunity may benefit businesses involved in media and broadcasting services, particularly those capable of meeting high demands in a rapidly evolving media landscape. Companies that possess expertise in media coordination, content production, or crisis communication would be well-suited to compete in future tenders of a similar nature, particularly as public sector organisations continue to seek robust support in managing media relations during significant public health events.

## Notice

Extension is required to support the media team during the response to COVID-19, specifically on broadcast, co-ordinating national and regional. Additional resource is still required as the team no longer have pro-bono support and there are a number of vacancies. The media team continue to experience a significant increase in high profile activity as Covid-19 continues to dominate the news, both online, paper and broadcast. At the start of the incident a substantial amount of support was offered pro bono from external organisations, but this has now ended. This coupled with a both vacancies and long term sickness has impacted on the media team's ability to meet continuing high demand from national and international media. Additional information: n/a
