This project falls under the industry category of marketing services and aims to facilitate communication with a UK-wide database of healthcare professionals and relevant administrative staff. The procurement process is currently in the planning phase, with key dates including a closing date for the engagement on 16 September 2024. The MHRA is based in London, at 10 South Colonnade, Canary Wharf. This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses capable of delivering comprehensive communication services. Companies with demonstrable experience in managing large-scale communication campaigns or similar projects will find this tender particularly relevant. Successful suppliers will help the MHRA to issue timely and effective communications to support patient safety and public health. The project is well-suited for entities that can provide an actively maintained database of healthcare contacts and have a proven track record in detailed and strategic communication delivery. ## Notice The objective of any proposed procurement competition(s) will be to award a contract to one or more suppliers who can deliver the services of facilitating communication with an up-to-date, actively maintained, UK-wide list/database of healthcare professionals and relevant administrative staff (may also include other organisation representatives), to enable the MHRA to issue information in a timely and quick manner to a very large audience. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Risk and safety communication is a critical part of the Medicines Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)'s work, with the potential for a major and immediate impact on public health and safety, and consequently our corporate reputation. It is essential therefore that we issue effective communications via appropriate channels to relevant audiences to support patient safety and public health. The MHRA's current risk and safety communication approaches have been in place for many years, and while there have been some enhancements over time, this is the first major strategy review we have undertaken to help inform the future of risk and safety communications work across the MHRA. The MHRA needs to reach as many HCPs as possible, across all four nations in the UK, and across all sectors of health and care. The objective of any proposed procurement competition(s) will be to award a contract to one or more suppliers who can deliver the services of facilitating communication with an up-to-date, actively maintained, UK-wide list/database of healthcare professionals and relevant administrative staff (may also include other organisation representatives), to enable the MHRA to issue information in a timely and quick manner to a very large audience. We would be looking for demonstrable experience and success at conducting similar projects or communications campaigns. The MHRA is conducting this early market engagement activity to explore potential solutions that could meet the requirements set out in our brief for delivery by one or more suppliers (numbers and approach to be agreed). This engagement is also intended to alert interested organisations/potential suppliers to our project and provide the opportunity to gain an understanding of and comment on our proposed requirements, as well as to gauge and garner market interest. This early market engagement activity does not form part of a formal procurement process.
