## Summary

Nest is procuring an organic social media agency partner to review, develop and deliver its social media activity. The service is focused exclusively on organic social, supporting Nest’s upper-funnel communications by building familiarity, trust and brand relevance before audiences are considering their pension. The appointed agency will provide strategic and creative expertise to produce engaging, entertaining and culturally relevant content, with particular emphasis on growing Nest’s presence on emerging platforms such as TikTok. The scope includes social strategy, audience insight and segmentation, platform-first creative development, always-on content and support across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. This is an advertising campaign service requirement.

The procurement has reached tender: Nest invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. The process comprises a security scorecard assessment, evaluation of quality and price responses, presentations and interviews, with up to four highest-scoring bidders progressing to the final stage. Enquiries closed on 9 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 28 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 December 2026 to 1 December 2028, with one possible one-year extension at Nest’s discretion, giving a maximum end date of 1 December 2029. Its estimated value is £900,000 excluding VAT, or £1,080,000 including VAT. Quality accounts for 88% of evaluation, with price accounting for 12%.

This opportunity suits an agency with strong social-first strategy and creative capability, particularly in TikTok, short-form video, creator-led work, entertainment-led content and reactive formats. Applicants need to demonstrate insight-led audience understanding, platform-native ideas, educational content and the ability to make a low-interest, regulated subject engaging while remaining credible and compliant. The requirement calls for an account team with clear roles, an end-to-end workflow from ideation to publishing, and experience collaborating with in-house teams and other partners. Relevant case studies are required, including work for organisations in a regulated or complex environment, with measurable impact. Strong candidates will also show robust processes for wellbeing, harmful-content safeguards, inclusion, accessibility and diverse representation, alongside the capacity to provide ongoing support and additional campaign or content work.

## Notice
