This contract, valued at £29,100, aims to engage a service provider to develop and deliver an innovative bilingual (Welsh and English) PR campaign. The tender period is active and submissions are due by 15 November 2018, with the contract anticipated to commence on 7 December 2018 and run until 29 March 2019, focusing on promoting the impact of National Lottery funding in the local community. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in public relations consultancy services, particularly those with experience in bilingual campaigns and community engagement. Service providers that can demonstrate creative strategies to communicate human interest stories effectively will be well-positioned to succeed. Suitable competitors include small and medium-sized enterprises as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that understand the local market and can develop bespoke outreach strategies to resonate with diverse audiences, especially younger demographics. ## Notice The NLPU wishes to engage a service provider to deliver an innovative, high impact, creative and insight driven bilingual (Welsh and English) hyperlocal PR campaign which will generate traditional coverage and digital impact at a local level (and national, dependant on the content) targeting the Local Authority areas of Wrexham and Flintshire. The objectives of the campaign will be: - To win the hearts and minds of people in Wrexham and Flintshire by showing them the impact National Lottery money has had in the locale through funding to a wide variety of projects, large and small. We want people in Wrexham and Flintshire to view the National Lottery as having people at its heart and making extraordinary things happen. - To acknowledge the PS101 million of funding the National Lottery has invested in over 4,600 arts, education, environment, health, heritage, sport and voluntary/charity projects within the Wrexham and Flintshire areas and tell the wider impact story. We propose launching our campaign in January 2019. - To have an overarching theme that would span the campaign lifetime (January 2019 to March 2019). - To target National Lottery players as our audience (70% of the UK adult population) but we would be looking to target as wide an audience as possible in the Wrexham and Flintshire areas with this campaign. - Using powerful human interest stories from funded projects to provide evidence to our audience of how the National Lottery has changed life for the better in their community. While size and scale of projects is important, so too is local, small and relevant. The bids should feature projects which resonate with the local audience. - For the successful agency to think carefully about how the campaign can work for young adults (aged 18-25 years-old) and should not apply a one size fits all approach. We know they do not consume media in a traditional fashion and consideration should be given for bespoke activity in this area either through digital influencers, bespoke media partners or other targeted activity. Bidders are required to propose: - A bilingual (Welsh and English) PR campaign that takes consideration of the requirements and objectives mentioned above. - Evidence of how the National Lottery has changed life for the better in the Wrexham and Flintshire areas. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/248545da-a992-4566-a431-f19632009bb1 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Oct 2018 | | Submission deadline | 15 Nov 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Dec 2018 - 29 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £29,100 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BIG LOTTERY FUND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC4A 1DE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | City of London | | Electoral ward | Castle Baynard | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLL Wales | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79416200 - Public relations consultancy services ## Release History - 29 Oct 2018 at 17:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/248545da-a992-4566-a431-f19632009bb1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/248545da-a992-4566-a431-f19632009bb1 29th October 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://biglotteryfund.bravosolution.co.uk Tender documents can be obtained from the Big Lottery Fund's e-tendering platform - https://biglotteryfund.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html Access to the Big Lottery Fund's e-tendering platform can also be obtained through the URL below ## Notice URLs - https://www.biglotteryfund.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
