## Summary

Bolton at Home Limited, a sub-central government public authority, has concluded the procurement process seeking public relations and communication services. The contract was awarded on 18th November 2025, for a project titled "PR and Communication Services." This initiative aims to provide media office functions, including media enquiries, press release drafting, and strategic PR advice, with an emphasis on the social housing sector. The procurement stage is complete, and the contracting method, "below threshold - limited competition," suggests a rigorous selection tailored to specific service needs. The contract, valued at an estimated £79,200, will run from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2028, with potential additional project work options available. The principal delivery location is within the UKD region, specifically Bolton, United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for PR agencies with expertise in media relations and social housing to expand their portfolio and influence. Businesses equipped to manage external reputation and provide timely reactive and proactive media support can leverage this contract to strengthen their market presence. SMEs, like Freshfield PR Limited, which was awarded the contract, underscore the opportunity for similar sized firms with a focus on strategic public communications to engage in governmental contracts that demand a high level of professional service and sector-specific knowledge. This can lead to long-term partnerships and increased visibility in public sector contracting opportunities.
