Published description of the framework
This Framework Agreement will be awarded to a single provider with demonstrable capability in delivering behavioural change marketing services.
The Framework will operate on a single-provider basis, with all call-off contracts awarded by way of direct award to the appointed provider in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Framework.
The scope of services under the Framework may include, but is not limited to, the development and delivery of behavioural insight-led campaigns, audience segmentation, creative development, media planning and buying, and campaign evaluation. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to refine and vary the scope of individual call-offs to reflect specific project requirements.
Pricing for call-off contracts will be based on the rates and pricing structure submitted as part of the tender and agreed at Framework award.
The Framework will have a duration of 4 years, with individual call-off contracts awarded for defined periods within the Framework term.
Performance will be managed through agreed key performance indicators (KPIs) and service levels, which may be specified at Framework level and/or refined for individual call-off contracts.
The Contracting Authority reserves the right to incorporate continuous improvement measures, benchmarking, and performance review mechanisms throughout the duration of the Framework.

- Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Framework Agreement for the Provision of Public Health Behavioural…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
