## Summary

East Ayrshire Council commissioned foster care advertising and campaign services. The requirement covers a digital, geotargeted foster carer recruitment campaign, intended to help the council attract prospective foster carers through targeted advertising. This is a public-sector marketing and recruitment communications service rather than the provision of foster care itself. The work is for East Ayrshire Council and is delivered in East Ayrshire, with the council based in Kilmarnock. The service is classified as advertising campaign services (CPV 79341400), within the broader advertising services category (CPV 79341000). The requirement was arranged as one lot and forms part of the Advertising Solutions framework. It is relevant to agencies that can plan, deliver and manage targeted digital campaigns for public-service recruitment objectives.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used an open procedure through the Advertising Solutions framework. CAN Digital Solutions Limited was selected for the single lot, and the resulting contract is active. The contract value is £16,000. It was signed on 20 August 2026. One bid was received, submitted electronically; the available bid statistics record no bids from SMEs. The awarded requirement is the commissioning of a foster care advertising and campaign service delivering digital geotargeted foster carer recruitment campaigns. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The contract is not recorded as including options. The award information identifies CAN Digital Solutions Limited as the appointed supplier.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined demand from East Ayrshire Council for specialist digital advertising supporting foster carer recruitment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to combine campaign strategy, audience targeting and digital media delivery with the ability to reach potential foster carers in a specific local area. Useful capability would include geotargeting, campaign planning, creative advertising, digital channel management and performance monitoring. Experience of recruitment marketing would be directly relevant, particularly where campaigns must engage people who may not already be familiar with fostering. Suppliers should also be able to translate a public-service objective into measurable outreach and manage delivery for a local authority through an established public procurement route.
