Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Merseytravel, involves the tender titled "Consultancy Services Big Bus Debate - PR, Campaign and Engagement LOT 14." This project aims to engage the public regarding bus services in England, specifically Liverpool, and has an end date for submissions set for 8 October 2018. The awarded contract, valued at £13,513.82, is classified under business services in law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The contract period is from 24 October 2018 to 31 March 2019, and the procurement method used was categorised as 'Other.'

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in public relations, marketing, and consulting, to contribute to a key public engagement initiative. Companies that can offer both creative and strategic support, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), would be well-positioned to compete. This engagement is pivotal for fostering community dialogue around public transport, thus enhancing visibility and influence in the local market.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Consultancy Services Big Bus Debate - PR, Campaign and Engagement LOT 14

Notice Description

The Metro Mayor announced during a keynote speech that a "big conversation" about bus would take place commencing autumn 2018. The conversation will commence with public engagement in November 2018 and run in its first phase for approximately 4-5 weeks. Further follow up activity including business and stakeholder engagement will take place subsequently. We are looking for a public relations agency to support this activity with primarily creative and digital public relations activities and including advisory and delivery support. It is vitally important that this exercise is handled carefully as it is imperative that in promoting the debate we do not skew the research activity and public feedback and we take care not to mis-step in any way that could have implications for on-going policy work around the future of buses. This is why we need not simply creative support but an intelligent partner to help craft and deliver the communications.
