## Summary

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has awarded a contract to MacMartin Limited for the "LGBT Restorative Measures Communications" project, designed to raise awareness about restorative measures for LGBT veterans. The campaign targets veterans affected by the historical ban on LGBT personnel in the Armed Forces and aims for maximum outreach and engagement. This contract, initiated through an open procurement method, involved a tender stage followed by the award on 28 April 2026, with the campaign running from 4 May 2026 to 12 December 2026. The process was held in Glasgow, UK, focusing on advertising and marketing services under the central government industry category, with a total contract value of £44,000 (excluding VAT).

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in communication and marketing services, particularly those adept in executing inclusive campaigns for marginalised and hard-to-reach audiences. Companies capable of designing trauma-informed communication strategies and employing non-traditional outreach methods could find excellent prospects in similar government communication initiatives. The requirement to promptly commence services and maintain full-time resources for this project underscores the importance of rapid deployment capabilities and comprehensive experience in government communications to effectively navigate through the tendering process and secure such contracts.

## Notice

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has a requirement to conduct an advertised bespoke competition to appoint a supplier to design and implement a national communications campaign. The campaign will aim to raise awareness of the LGBT Restorative Measures available to veterans affected by the ban on LGBT personnel in the Armed Forces (1967-2000). This initiative seeks to ensure maximum outreach and encourage eligible veterans to apply for the schemes, which will close at 23:59 on 12 December 2026. The campaign specifically aims to engage hard-to-reach LGBT veterans, including those who may be reluctant to engage with the MOD or Armed Forces due to historical experiences or mistrust. Requirements: Given the time-critical nature of this requirement, the appointed supplier must confirm their ability to: - Commence work immediately upon contract award. - Dedicate full-time resources to the delivery of the campaign. Submission of Expression of Interest (EOI) Interested organisations are required to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) that includes the following: 1. A maximum 1,000-word statement detailing: - Relevant experience, including organisations worked with, results achieved, and dates. - Demonstrated experience in using Government Communications Services (GCS) best practice. 2. Supporting evidence (no word limit), which will include: - A case study of a successful campaign targeting a hard-to-reach cohort, including: - Challenges faced. - Non-traditional methods used to engage the audience. - Measurable outcomes, with a particular focus on reaching an older cohort who do not engage with digital media or online platforms. - Evidence of communication methods used to reach the cohort, with an explanation of why these methods were successful. - Evidence of expertise in trauma-informed and inclusive communications for sensitive and marginalised cohorts. Evaluation and Downselection All submitted EOIs and supporting evidence will be evaluated by the Authority. Following this evaluation, suppliers will be downselected to maintain the tender list at a manageable level. Key Dates Deadline for Submission of EOI and Supporting Statements: 23:59 on 20 March 2026. NOTE: Suppliers MUST provide a clear statement alongside their EOI to this advert.

All enquiries should be submitted to Sanjay.Kottegoda100@mod.gov.uk. Suppliers will have a short window to submit clarification questions to the ITT, which will close at 23:59 on 1 April 2026.
