The FOPH is inviting tenders for three new communication mandates in 2018
With Love Life, the organ donation campaign and the StAR campaign for antibiotic awareness, the FOPH is retendering three extensive communication mandates in spring and summer 2018.

The fact that the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) has issued three extensive invitations to tender within a relatively short period of time is unusual.
Aware of the effort involved in participating in such calls for proposals, the FOPH's Health Information and Campaigns Section therefore informs the communications industry about them in advance. This should enable interested providers to make appropriate preliminary decisions and, if necessary, to focus on those topics that correspond to their strengths. The three mandates are national information campaigns aimed at the general population within the usual budgetary framework:
1st Campaign "Population Awareness Antibiotic Resistance (StAR)".
Campaign theme: Use antibiotics properly - Raise awareness regarding the proper use of antibiotics to curb the formation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
- Publication of the call: Spring 2018
- Duration of the mandate: 2018-2021
- Star.admin.ch
2. organ donation campaign (continuation after expiry of existing mandate).
Campaign theme: organ donation campaign following on from the existing campaign, raising positive awareness about organ donation.
- Publication of the call: Summer 2018
- Duration of the mandate: 2019-2022 (optional 2023)
- Life-is-sharing.ch
3. Love Life campaign (continuation after expiration of the existing mandate).
Campaign theme: raising awareness and providing information to reduce the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
- Publication of the call: Summer 2018
