This procurement falls under the crisis management services category and is located in Bootle, England. The contract aims to secure an experienced strategic communications agency that can provide on-demand support for crisis communication. The tender period concluded on 5th September 2019, and the contract period commenced on 21st October 2019, lasting until 21st October 2022. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing participation from all interested suppliers. This tender presents significant opportunities for strategic communications agencies, particularly those specialising in crisis management and public relations. Businesses that provide high-quality, swift-response communications strategies, especially those experienced in working with regulatory agencies or managing reputational crises, would be well-suited to compete. The ONR seeks partners that can deliver expert advice and support at all times, making this an attractive opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises looking to expand their portfolios in the public sector. ## Notice The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) requires a 3 year call off contract, with a review and break point at the end of each year, with an experienced and high quality strategic communications agency, with experience in crisis communications. The contract is to provide senior-level strategic crisis communications advice and support around any potential significant reputational issues on an 'as needed basis' by ONR. A key driver for this contract is to assist ONR in maintaining focus on its core purposes during a time of heightened scrutiny in order to continue to deliver efficient and effective regulation of the nuclear industry, holding it to account on behalf of the public. In the event of ONR being faced with a major issue, which has the potential to significantly damage the organisation's reputation and require additional resources to respond, the contractor will be able to supply expert strategic crisis communication advice and support. They will be there to guide and assist the senior leadership team's response and help them to make timely, clear and effective strategic decisions based on insight and experience of crisis communications. The contractor would be required to supply their expert strategic crisis communications services 24/7 on an 'as needed basis' by ONR.
