## Summary

Public Health Scotland procured full-service media planning and buying services for its Childhood Vaccination campaign. The appointed agency is expected to recommend and purchase advertising space across a variety of platforms, supporting a public-awareness campaign intended to increase uptake of vaccines offered to babies and young children from birth to 3 years and 4 months. This is a marketing and advertising services requirement, classified under business services including marketing and consulting (CPV 79000000). The buying organisation is Public Health Scotland. The campaign is Scotland-wide in purpose, although no specific delivery location is stated. The requirement sits within the Scottish Government Media planning, buying and associated services framework and was run as a mini competition for a full-service media agency.

The procurement has been awarded following a mini competition under the Scottish Government media planning, buying and associated services framework. The contract was awarded to The Media Shop Scotland Ltd for £69,996. The award was dated 8 March 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date; its status is active. The tender record identifies the Childhood Vaccination campaign as covering 2026/27, with a tender period beginning on 8 October 2026. One bid was recorded. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier and awarded value, but does not set out a separate contract end date or detailed scoring criteria. This was a services procurement managed by Public Health Scotland.

This opportunity demonstrates demand for agencies able to combine strategic media planning, channel recommendations and practical media buying for a public-health campaign. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need full-service capability, with experience selecting appropriate advertising platforms and purchasing space across a varied media mix. It would also need to translate a public-information objective into audience-focused activity aimed at parents and carers of babies and young children, while supporting measurable increases in awareness and vaccine uptake. Familiarity with public-sector campaign requirements and the ability to work through the Scottish Government media services framework would strengthen its position. The award also indicates that a focused media agency can compete successfully for a defined, Scotland-wide campaign.
