This initiative follows the successful completion of a two-year programme funded by Scottish Enterprise and Borders Railway Blueprint, delivering business-to-business activities in the tourism sector. The tender, classified under services, is currently at the active stage and interested parties must submit their bids electronically by 27 February 2019. The procurement process is conducted as an open procedure, with the contract focusing on the regions of Midlothian and the Scottish Borders. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in digital marketing and tourism services. Companies capable of leveraging digital channels to boost tourism awareness, particularly those with experience in consumer-facing projects, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The emphasis on collaboration and capacity-building in the tourism sector opens avenues for partnerships and innovative service delivery, enabling businesses to expand their reach within the Scottish and UK markets. ## Notice The Midlothian and Borders Tourism Action group are at the end of a 2 year programme funded by Scottish Enterprise and Borders Railway Blueprint to deliver business to business activity supporting the tourism industry in both areas. The project has delivered some excellent B2B work and surpassed targets at every stage with recent results including new products, new collaborations and the development of capacity within the tourism travel trade. Part of the feedback from the digital sessions during this project addressed the need for more support for digital marketing. As a result of this, the group have successfully secured funding for another 18 month phase 2 project for a consumer facing digital marketing project as a legacy to the original project and a natural progression to the current B2B activity. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Midlothian and Borders Tourism Action group are looking for a digital Marketing Co-ordinator.
