Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority (MWDA) is inviting tenders from an experienced media agency to run a behavioural change campaign across the Liverpool City Region (LCR). (Note: LCR includes Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens, and Wirral).
The campaign will focus on raising awareness amongst residents in the Liverpool City Region about household food waste and the impact it has both environmentally and financially.
MWDA would like to run the campaign over the 2025 summer/autumn months, though we aren't tied to any specific dates.
The campaign will focus on encouraging residents across the Liverpool City Region to move up the waste hierarchy, and to acknowledge that while recycling is vital, there are more environmentally friendly ways to reduce waste via reuse. The campaign should highlight environmental, emotional and financial benefits of reuse.
MWDA would like to run the campaign over two phases, Phase 1 during October and November 2025 and phase 2 during January-March 2026
Messaging will be provided by MWDA - 4 messages for outdoor during Phase 1, and 4 messages for social media and digital online during Phase 2

The agency will recommend how they think the campaign should be delivered for maximum impact within budget.
The tone of the campaign should ideally be empowering, informative, and action-oriented, with a touch of local relevance and positivity and will encourage residents to consider their behaviour with waste, through the lens of reuse.
