## Summary

The Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs has awarded a contract for public relations services to The Mesulam Group. The tender, with ID STA10158 and title "PR in America for red meats", had a total value of £30,000. The procurement method used was a direct approach with a single tender action. The tender period ended on 25th February 2024, and the contract period is set from 3rd May 2024 to 3rd February 2027. The buying organisation is located in Coventry, England, and the service delivery will take place in the United States.

This contract opportunity to provide PR services in the USA is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Businesses with experience in public relations, especially in niche markets such as red meats in America, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The Mesulam Group, based in New York, secured the contract, showcasing a successful example of SME participation in public procurement processes.

## Notice

The Mesulam Group have worked with AHDB for three years and they know how we work, they know the States that we target, they know our audience, they have met with our exporters and they have a good relationship with them, they also understand our working relationship with DBT and they understand our products. Last time we went to tender to look for a PR Agency in the USA it took us three attempts to find a supplier who could fulfil our contract, the market is very niche and we need a supplier on hand in the US.
