The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with a closing date of 11th September 2024. The contract period is set to start on 1st December 2024 and end on 30th November 2026. The procurement method being used is a restricted procedure with a total estimated value of GBP 3,000,000, and a minimum value of GBP 1,520,000. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in public relations, communications, and stakeholder engagement, particularly those experienced in the energy and property sectors. It is especially suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can deliver comprehensive public affairs, stakeholder engagement, policy analysis, and corporate communications services. Participating in this tender will enable businesses to collaborate with The Crown Estate, thereby enhancing their portfolio and expanding their market influence. The engagement also offers the potential for long-term growth by aligning with a reputable organisation dedicated to impactful national initiatives. ## Notice The Crown Estate has undergone a significant and ongoing transformation in the last four years with a strategy to play a nationally significant role in some of the key challenges facing the country where it can have a meaningful impact: net zero and energy security, nature recovery, inclusive communities, and economic growth. This transformation has evolved The Crown Estate to work in an open and proactive engagement approach which it needs to continue to evolve and innovate to deliver business objectives and to protect the Licence to Operate. As an organisation accountable to Parliament, The Crown Estate must continue to build understanding and credibility to deliver on its strategy whilst continuing to build this understanding credibly in devolved nations and English Regions. In order to support this strategy we would like to appoint an agency(s) for the following areas: 1) Public Affairs and Engagement agency to support The Crown Estate to build and manage its relationships and activity amongst key stakeholders and across its key markets through its public affairs and engagement activities. This includes Public Affairs, stakeholder engagement utilising a broad range of tactics, policy analysis and development, message development and report writing. The agency will primarily support TCE activity in energy (in particular marine industries and offshore renewables) and Property sectors (focusing on planning and development across commercial property, housing, regeneration and built environment). 2) Corporate Communications agency to support The Crown Estate to build and manage its reputation amongst key stakeholders and across its key markets through its external communications activities. This includes, but is not limited to, media relations, social media, website, narrative and key message development. The main objectives are to grow reputation by increasing awareness and understanding of the organisation, its role and the impact it has for the nation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4af7b525-bf91-43f4-8ecb-882e47ce710f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | 11 Sep 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2024 - 30 Nov 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,000,000 | | 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 | THE CROWN ESTATE COMMISSIONERS | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1Y 4AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 32412000 - Communications network - 79416000 - Public relations services - 79416100 - Public relations management services - 79416200 - Public relations consultancy services ## Release History - 12 Aug 2024 at 16:11 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4af7b525-bf91-43f4-8ecb-882e47ce710f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4af7b525-bf91-43f4-8ecb-882e47ce710f 12th August 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/fa37947e-aa80-4e07-ae45-74eff51348eb This summaries the requirements and evaluation. - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/32c5f7cd-7227-4c8c-af0d-e1238c757d99 This is the supplier SQ response document. - https://secure.sourcedogg.com/profile/676e86f0-50b5-4563-b7b6-529dcfeb28b7/requests/63242 Please follow this Link to the Request on SourceDogg in order to apply ## Notice URLs - http://www.thecrownestate.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
