This project, classified under the services industry and with activities centred in the South West of the United Kingdom, aimed to increase quit attempts among smokers in areas experiencing deprivation. The procurement followed an open procedure, awarding a contract worth £212,000 to SIMPLE MEDIA AND ADVERTISING LTD. The contract, spanning from 20th May 2026 to 27th October 2027, is active and involves developing a regional programme website alongside the campaign. This finalised stage indicates that the procurement objective was to engage a competent agency to achieve significant regional impact. This opportunity offers extensive business growth possibilities, particularly for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in the media and advertising sector, owing to its high profile and regional influence. Companies specialising in advertising campaign services, media buying, and behavioural science application can leverage this project to expand their portfolios and demonstrate expertise in managing public campaigns with societal benefits. The procurement process’s openness widened the competition, allowing businesses focusing on innovative communication strategies to make significant industry advances. Additionally, the engagement offers invaluable exposure and potential for long-term collaboration with governmental bodies, enhancing reputation and professional networks. ## Notice The Council has appointed an agency to deliver a regional mass-media smoking cessation campaign including the creation and ongoing maintenance of a regional programme website. The primary goal of the campaign is to increase the number of smokers making quit attempts across the South West, with a particular focus on the people with the most entrenched smoking behaviours living in areas affected by deprivation. ### Planning Information North Somerset Council is hosting an online engagement event on Wednesday 25th February 2026, at 10am.
