## Summary

East Suffolk Council has finalised the procurement process for appointing a public relations agency, with the contract awarded to Big Wave PR. The procurement, under an open procedure, aimed at enhancing East Suffolk's profile as a visitor destination through a comprehensive 12-month public relations and influencer engagement plan. The contracting authority is based in Woodbridge, UK, and this procurement falls under the services category, particularly focusing on public relations services.

This tender presents robust opportunities for businesses that specialise in public relations consultancy and management to expand their portfolio within the tourism and destination branding sector. Although the tender was not flagged for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), companies experienced in executing national-scale PR campaigns can benefit greatly. This aligns well with businesses capable of delivering influencer engagement strategies and enhancing the visibility of regional destinations, thereby fostering business growth and establishing a footprint in the public sector consultancy domain.
