## Summary

The Sefton Council is seeking an agency to manage marketing campaigns for Southport, as part of the 'ARFQ - Marketing Southport - 2018 Campaign Management' tender valued at £130,000. This project is classified under advertising and marketing services and is located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process follows an open procedure, with the tender period having closed on 9th May 2018. The contract commences on 18th May 2018 and lasts until 31st March 2019.

This opportunity presents significant potential for marketing agencies that specialise in tourism and destination branding. Smaller enterprises and voluntary community sector organisations are encouraged to compete, particularly those that can demonstrate a strong understanding of effective campaign strategies and local markets. Collaborating closely with Sefton's tourism team is essential, as the winning agency will be responsible for not only running the campaigns but also providing detailed reports to inform future efforts.

## Notice

Sefton Tourism and Marketing Southport are looking to engage an agency to plan and manage a series of campaigns to promote Southport and Sefton as a leisure destination. The town underwent a rebranding exercise during the summer / autumn of 2016. Extensive research, including input from existing and potential customers, resulted in the 'Southport - Different every Time' brand. This campaign needs to reflect this refreshing of the destination brand in terms of media, tone of voice and audience. The successful agency will be required to work closely with Sefton's tourism team. They will also need to provide 'end of campaign' reports for each of the seasonal campaigns, these to provide a complete overview of activity and achievements to fully inform the Marketing Southport Board.
