The contract will be to support the delivery of the NWG Corporate Communications strategies by offering a range of effective, innovative and cost-effective solutions to media buying. This will include, but not limited to, ongoing advice and professional support in reaching key targets and audiences across our operating regions and assisting in the delivery of the NWG Corporate Communications goals, measures and brand strategy, bringing campaigns to life using all aspects of media platforms. In addition to this, it is crucial that the measuring of campaign effectiveness is monitored throughout with the results delivered back through reporting. Our marketing campaigns range from customer service campaigns that communicate information about our products and services, right through to behaviour change campaigns that land strong messages with real impact to change customer behaviour and drive a positive approach and proactive change across our operating areas. Budgets are aligned to business priority areas, some of which we know in advance and other maybe unplanned due to a significant need. This makes it very difficult to estimate spend for the future contract period. Spend in 2020 was in the region of £300,000 and increased to approx. £500,000 in 2021. We do not anticipate an increase above this for 2022. NWL are offering a two-year contract with the option to extend for a further year ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **Delivery regions:** UKC, UKH - **Description:** This is notification that NWL have awarded a contract for a requirement for a supplier to provide media planning and buying.
