## Summary

The procurement process involves the Forestry Commission, acting through Forestry England, which has awarded a contract titled "Membership engagement support" for marketing services. The contract, valued at £100,000, is primarily aimed at developing a robust engagement strategy and delivering content over a two-year period. The tender period has concluded as of 10th February 2022, with the contract commencing on 21st February 2022 and running until 20th February 2024. This process was conducted through an open procurement method.

This contract presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the marketing sector, especially those with expertise in membership engagement strategies and content delivery. Businesses that can offer creative development for communications, support in delivering virtual events, or editorial services are particularly well-suited to compete. The focus on retaining members within a national and local membership scheme further emphasises the need for tailored, strategic partnerships in this area.

## Notice

CONTRACT AWARDED This contract will cover membership engagement strategy and content delivery across a 2-year period, working as a partner to our in-house teams. We are looking for a partner to provide strategic guidance on developing a more robust engagement programme within our budget, and some delivery support with content creation. We have in-house marketing, digital and CRM teams that will continue to deliver our email comms to members, but our internal resource is small and support is required to develop content for all recommended channels. Examples of support required may be creative development of mail-outs, delivery of virtual events/talks, development of exclusive member content and editorial support. Support will be required for our national and local membership schemes (34 schemes), with a particular focus on retaining year 1 members. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
