This open tender process falls under the services category, specifically targeting public relations services, with a procurement method following the open procedure. The tender period concludes on 10 July 2022, with the contract expected to start on 1 August 2022 and continue until 31 May 2023. The main location for this initiative is London, SW7 2DD, but the activities will extend across Great Britain. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses within the public relations and communications sector to enhance their profile and contribute to a landmark national event. Agencies specialising in event management, public engagement, and media relations would be particularly suited to compete, given the requirement for a robust PR strategy to celebrate a cultural icon. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, allowing them to leverage this high-profile project to demonstrate their capabilities and expand their networks. ## Notice Steam locomotive Flying Scotsman is a star object in the National Railway Museum's National Collection. A beacon of modern achievement, Flying Scotsman epitomises the golden age of British ingenuity, invention and craftsmanship. The locomotive turns 100 in 2023 and the centenary will be a celebration of the world's most famous steam engine, honouring this cultural icon through an exciting calendar of events, stunts, and breath-taking moments. The centenary will be delivered on site at NRM and Locomotion, and off-site across Great Britain as we take Flying Scotsman back to key historic locations. Engaging with families to discover the stories of the last 100 years, we will build Flying Scotsman's legacy for a new generation. We are looking for a strategic partner to create and deliver the PR strategy for the opening events of the centenary celebrations.
