Procurement Information

As with the previous contract, this will be directly awarded to Marketing Manchester under Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of The Public Contracts Regulations 2015, that "competition is absent for technical reasons". In April 2023, Marketing Manchester received confirmation of VisitEngland Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP) status. As the official agency charged with promoting Greater Manchester nationally and internationally as a place to visit, invest, meet, and study for over 25 years, the work that Marketing Manchester undertakes is essential for raising not only the profile of the city-region itself, but also for Manchester as the gateway to the north of England, and for overall global perceptions of UK cities. Marketing Manchester incorporates the official tourist board for Greater Manchester, as well as the Manchester Convention Bureau, whilst also delivering promotion focused on priority business sectors and campaigns including digital, innovation, and green.
