The work covers end-to-end campaign management for 30 to 50 local net zero, public sector decarbonisation and community energy projects. For each selected project, the supplier will identify, develop and promote a high-quality case study, manage communications and stakeholder engagement, and show how Hub support enabled project development and delivery. Content should share knowledge, best practice, lessons and opportunities across public and community energy sectors. The requirement extends beyond written case studies: the supplier must provide an engaging, innovative mix of formats tailored to different audiences and channels. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, with the buyer based in Huntingdon. The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot services contract. Enquiries were due by 4 September 2026 at 23:59, and offers were due by 11 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The published estimated value is £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. However, the lot value is recorded separately as AED 120,000, so suppliers should verify the applicable currency in the procurement documents. Electronic submission is allowed. Offers will be evaluated on 30% price and 70% quality. The competition is below the applicable threshold. This opportunity suits an established communications, marketing or public affairs agency able to combine strategic campaign management with strong content production. Suppliers should be capable of researching projects, interviewing stakeholders, translating technical and delivery evidence into accessible stories, and managing campaigns from planning through promotion. Experience in net zero, energy, decarbonisation, public-sector or community projects would be particularly relevant because the campaigns must explain practical outcomes, transferable learning and the Hub’s enabling role. The requirement favours organisations with broad multimedia capability rather than a written-case-study-only offer, including the ability to develop content for different audiences and channels. A supplier must also have the capacity to run multiple dedicated campaigns, coordinate stakeholders and maintain consistent quality across a substantial portfolio of projects. ## Notice The Greater South East Net Zero Hub is one of five regional net zero Hubs, funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). One of the Greater South East Net Zero Hub's (the Hub) key objectives is to bring the Hub's story to life and clearly demonstrate the value and breadth of support it provides, and the outcomes delivered through local net zero, public sector decarbonisation and community energy projects. Showcasing projects and providing case studies form a key part of the Hub's Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with DESNZ. Specifically, this commission of external support is linked to Objective 3: 'Objective 3: Support a national knowledge transfer programme to improve information sharing, training, and evaluation, and build networks and partnerships. Support LA's in their engagement with the public on net zero and net zero programmes.' The Hub wants to share knowledge and best practice across the public and community energy sectors, as well as highlighting and promoting opportunities for others to benefit from, alongside shared issues and lessons learned. The Hub requires a supplier to provide end-to-end campaign management for between 30 - 50 individual projects. The supplier will support the identification, development and promotion of high-quality case studies and related end-to-end campaign management. A dedicated campaign is required for each identified case study, with a non-negotiable price for each element of the campaign agreed. The supplier will lead the end-to-end campaign for each project identified, including all communications and stakeholder engagement. Content and campaign activity should demonstrate the Hub's role as an enabler, highlight the contribution of Hub support to project development and delivery, and make it easier for public sector organisations and partners to understand what can be replicated, adapted or learned from the projects promoted. This is not limited to written case studies; the Hub is seeking a supplier that can propose and deliver a broad, engaging and innovative mix of communications formats, tailored to different audiences and channels, to increase the profile of the Hub, support stakeholder engagement, and encourage wider knowledge sharing across the sector. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077072-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 11 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Oct 2026 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | £100,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority | | Locality | HUNTINGDON | | Postcode area | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE29 3TN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Huntingdonshire | | Electoral ward | Huntingdon North | | Westminster constituency | Huntingdon | | Delivery location | TLH12 Cambridgeshire CC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 79342000 - Marketing services ## Release History - 13 Aug 2026 at 10:02 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077072-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077072-2026 13th August 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/cambridgeshirepeterborough-ca - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
