## Summary

The procurement process involves Shropshire Council seeking PR and marketing services for the Marches Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and Growth Hub. This open tender was awarded to Be Bold Media Ltd on 19th June 2018, with a total contract value of £360,000. The contract duration begins on 1st August 2018 and extends until 31st July 2021, with a potential extension until March 2021, contingent on performance and funding. The services will be delivered across the West Midlands region, specifically at sites in Herefordshire, Shrewsbury, and Telford & Wrekin.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in public relations and marketing, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Given the focus on promoting activities across multiple growth hub sites, firms with expertise in local engagement strategies and marketing services will be well-positioned to compete effectively for similar contracts in the future.
