## Summary

The Folkestone and Hythe District Council, situated in Folkestone, England, has completed a procurement process for a branding and marketing campaign aimed at enhancing the district's profile as a desirable location for living, working, and investing. The tender, titled "Brand and Marketing Campaign for the Folkestone & Hythe District," was initiated to engage a qualified consultancy or agency to develop a comprehensive marketing strategy over a proposed five-year period. The procurement method used was classified as "Other," and the tender's application window closed on 11 January 2019, with the awarded contract commencing on 4 February 2019 and concluding on 3 February 2021. The total contract value amounted to £80,000, falling under the advertising and marketing services category.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in branding, marketing, and advertising services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Firms that can create compelling narratives and develop strategic marketing initiatives will be well-suited to compete for similar contracts, which can enhance their portfolio and reputation in the public sector. Engaging in this type of work could provide firms with valuable experience and further collaborations within the south east of England and beyond.

## Notice

Folkestone & Hythe District Council is seeking to engage the services of an experienced and qualified consultancy/agency to deliver a 'place' branding and marketing strategy/campaign that will articulate the district's vision and story, putting it on the map as a great place to live, work, play, visit and invest in. It is envisaged that this will be a five year campaign, but we want a consultant to help us and our partners develop a compelling campaign narrative in the initial few months of this commission, leading to the delivery of the first two years of the campaign to help articulate, promote and market all that is great about the district across south east England, the UK and internationally.
