## Summary

Hampshire County Council has concluded the award stage of the public procurement process for its "CS Childcare Recruitment Marketing Campaign." This involves an online marketing campaign focusing on advertising and marketing services to recruit more childcare workers. The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Hampshire County Council, based in Winchester, England, awarded the contract to Newsquest Media Group Limited for a contract period from 21st February 2026 to 17th March 2026, with a total value of £1,200. The award date was 29th January 2026, and documentation was published on 20th March 2026. The process falls under the services category and targets SMEs, although it excludes VCSEs.

This contract offers growth opportunities primarily for SMEs involved in advertising and marketing services, particularly those with experience in digital campaigns. Participating businesses can leverage their expertise in digital marketing strategies to enhance recruitment within the childcare sector, thereby fulfilling demand within a framework agreement. The campaign's success also positions potential suppliers to secure further public contracts in similar industries where recruitment marketing is pivotal. Businesses suited to these opportunities should demonstrate agility in service delivery and capacity to tailor digital marketing solutions to government objectives. This contract exemplifies a strategic entry point into public sector services, providing a pathway to expand reach and operational capabilities.
