Single Party Framework Agreement for Public Relations Services in 2 Lots

Safefood

Safefood is a North-South body, responsible for the promotion of food safety on the island of Ireland. It was established in 1999 under the terms of the British-Irish Agreement Act 1999 and the North-South Co-operation (Implementation Bodies) Northern Ireland Order 1999.
Safefood proposes to engage in a competitive process in order to establish two single operator framework agreements for its requirements relating to Public Relations services. These services will include the provision of integrated communications planning, issue management, stakeholder relations, media relations, media briefing advice and ongoing PR support.
Safefood has an estimated annual average requirement for approximately two to three planned and comprehensive food safety/healthy eating promotion public awareness campaigns on the island of Ireland, subject to available resources.
Safefood also has a number of consumer news & scientific research launches throughout the year in addition to a monthly series of syndicated articles on consumer topics of food safety and healthy eating. These also require PR support in order to maximise publicity opportunities and media coverage.
Lot 1: Framework for Public Relations Services for the Republic of Ireland (estimated total value: EUR between 30 000 and 200 000).
Lot 2: Framework for Public Relations Services for Northern Ireland (estimated total value: EUR between 30 000 and 200 000).
Economic Operators may apply for one or both Lots.
It is envisaged that two Public Relations agencies will closely support the development of the brand and the delivery of its communication objectives.
The duration of the framework agreements will be for four years. For the avoidance of doubt, the period for delivery of any subsequent contracts entered into under the framework may extend beyond the date of expiry of the framework.
