The tender, falling under the services category and specifically within the tourism industry, sought proposals from qualified agencies with experience in PR and a presence in China. The process, initiated through an open procedure, involved planning, tender, and award stages, with the contract eventually awarded on 4th October 2025 to GHC Asia for a value of £83,907. The project promised a potential duration of up to 36 months, pending extensions, with the primary location of service delivery being China. This tender presented substantial opportunities for businesses with expertise in tourism-related public relations and established operations in China. It was particularly attractive for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like GHC Asia, who demonstrated capacity to meet VisitScotland's consumer PR requirements. Companies looking to expand their influence in Asia or diversify their client base in the international tourism sector would find this contract a promising avenue for business growth. The open procedure allowed for competitive bidding, ensuring an accessible procurement process for capable firms globally. ## Notice VisitScotland is seeking proposals from suitably qualified agencies that have the capacity, capability and relevant PR experience in the tourism sector alongside an established presence in China to deliver VisitScotland's Consumer PR needs for a 12-month period, with a possibility to extend for a further two periods of 12 months at VisitScotland's discretion. ### Lot Information Lot 1 VisitScotland is seeking proposals from suitably qualified agencies that have the capacity, capability and relevant PR experience in the tourism sector alongside an established presence in China to deliver VisitScotland's Consumer PR needs for a 12-month period, with a possibility to extend for a further two periods of 12 months at VisitScotland's discretion.
