The tender aims to promote the AHF and HDT model to media outlets nationally and regionally over three years commencing January 2024. The contract value is £45,750 GBP. The tender is open for electronic submissions until November 17, 2023, with the bid opening on the same day. This tender by the AHF presents an opportunity for consultants or consultancies with expertise in media communications to support the promotion of the HDT programme and AHF's corporate communications. Businesses in the field of marketing, public relations, and media consultancy would be well-suited to compete for this tender. The successful bidder will play a key role in raising the profile of AHF and its HDT model to potential funders, government agencies, and the public, contributing to the AHF's strategic goals and broader impact. ## Notice In 2023, the Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF) launched its new Strategy for 2023-28 and also a three-year programme funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund focused on supporting Heritage Development Trusts (HDT). The AHF is seeking to commission a consultant, or consultancy, to work with us over three years commencing January 2024 to help promote to national and regional media outlets the HDT programme and its model - particularly around sharing emerging lessons and impact - as well as the AHF and its broader work. This work should complement our existing in-house delivery of social media, newsletters, and web stories/blogs. We hope through this activity to raise the profile of the AHF and its HDT model to potential future funders, government agencies at all levels (local, regional, national), and the wider public. The work is expected to roughly divide 50:50 in support of promoting the HDT programme specifically and the AHF's corporate communications activity. ### Lot Information Lot 1 To support the AHF in promoting its Heritage Development Trusts programme and its wider work via national / regional and specialist media. Specifically, we are seeking: * A regular pattern of days of support for promoting agreed topical content to your media contacts sourced by you within print journalism, television, radio, and other specialist media, with enough flexibility to enable 'peak periods of activity' as needed (e.g. timed to coincide with grants or loan announcements, launch of annual impact reports, etc.); * Support in creating - with feedback and support from AHF staff - both print and digital content (e.g. phone based social media films) to be used for promotion. Intended outcomes: For the HDT programme: * Promote the HDT model and fulfil our obligations to The National Lottery Heritage Fund regarding acknowledgement of their support; * Deliver opportunities for regional and national new pieces covering the work of our HDTs, as individual trusts and as a cohort; and * Share emerging lessons and demonstrate the impact of the HDT programme, informed by the HDT evaluation framework. For the AHF generally: * Broaden awareness of the AHF, its work and strategy, to policymakers, funders, and the wider public; * Share emerging lessons and demonstrate the impact of our work, informed by AHF-wide evaluation frameworks; and * Further the AHF's role and influence in shaping and informing national heritage, regeneration and social enterprise policy. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031488-2023 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 17 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2024 - 31 Dec 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £45,750 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE FUND(THE) | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E1 6AQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI42 Tower Hamlets | | Local authority | Tower Hamlets | | Electoral ward | Spitalfields & Banglatown | | Westminster constituency | Bethnal Green and Stepney | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services ### Codes - 66000000 - Financial and insurance services ## Release History - 25 Oct 2023 at 13:28 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031488-2023 ## Notice URLs - http://www.ahfund.org.uk - https://ahfund.org.uk/news/latest/ahf-invites-tenders-for-communications-media-support/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
