What the notice says

DHSC is launching this market engagement is to find one or more media partners who can work seamlessly with the Department to help the most inactive people, who would benefit most from moving more, to introduce more physical activity into their everyday routines. We are striving to get people to build movement back into their lives, and move more regularly, so that they establish habits which can help lead to healthier, happier, lives. The focus of any future collaboration will be centred around our popular digital support tools, the NHS Couch to 5k running programme app and the NHS Active 10 walking tracker app.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
