## Summary

Public Health Scotland procured a full-service media agency for its Childhood Vaccination campaign, described in the procurement as the Adult Flu Vaccination campaign for 2026/27. The appointed agency is responsible for recommending media activity and purchasing advertising space across a variety of platforms. This is a public health communications and media-buying service rather than a supply of vaccines or clinical services. The work is delivered for Public Health Scotland across Scotland. The procurement falls within advertising and marketing services (CPV 79340000). It was issued as one requirement, covering media planning, recommendations and buying activity for the campaign. The buyer is a Scottish public health body and central purchasing organisation, so relevant suppliers are agencies able to support public-sector health campaigns at a national scale.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used an open procedure and was awarded against the Media Planning, Buying and Associated Services framework SP-23-05. The single requirement was awarded to The Media Shop Scotland Ltd, an SME. The contract value is £69,996. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and is recorded as active. The published bid statistics show one bid, which was from an SME; it was submitted electronically and recorded as a foreign bid from outside the EU. The source records the campaign as 2026/27, but does not provide a contract start or end date. The requirement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No separate award weighting or evaluation breakdown is recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from Public Health Scotland for integrated media planning and advertising-buying support for public health vaccination campaigns. A credible future competitor would need to provide full-service capability: developing media recommendations, selecting suitable channels and platforms, negotiating and purchasing advertising space, and coordinating activity across a broad campaign rather than supplying a single advertising format. Experience of public information or health communications would be relevant, particularly where messaging must reach a wide Scottish audience and support vaccination uptake. Suppliers should also be able to work through public-sector procurement routes, including framework arrangements, and manage electronic tendering. The award to an SME indicates that this scale of media planning and buying can be delivered by a specialist independent agency with sufficient national reach and operational capacity.
