Description

Invest in Nottingham is tendering on behalf of itself and other East Midlands partners for delivery of yearly property and land developer/investor events in London.

Invest in Nottingham is part of Marketing NG, the place marketing organisation for Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. Invest in Nottingham is responsible for attracting inward investment to the area by working with local partners to showcase Nottingham to potential investors, developers and businesses looking to relocate.

Invest in Nottingham is a delivery partner on the "Invest in D2N2" programme, which is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and aims to attract new business investment into the local area. The programme has three elements:
1. Invest in Nottingham delivering across N2 (Nottingham/Nottinghamshire)
2. Marketing Derby, working with Derbyshire Economic Partnership and Destination Chesterfield to deliver projects across D2 (Derby/Derbyshire)
3. Shared projects across D2N2 led by Invest in Nottingham and Marketing Derby, involving other partners as appropriate.

This tender fits within the third element of the ERDF programme and involves other East Midlands partners; The Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership (LLEP), who is delivering a separate ERDF project, and East Midlands Airport. We have been working closely with these East Midlands partners to look for ways to raise the profile of the economic strength of Nottingham, Derby and Leicester along with the three counties (as the East Midlands) and its investment offer.

Subsequently, we are looking for an organisation to develop an annual high-profile London-based event, which will be an opportunity for London-based property developers and investors to discover more about specific development projects across the East Midlands and meet with representatives from each part of the region.

The selected company should have the developer contacts to enable this event to be a success, as the East Midlands partners have limited access to London-based developers. The successful provider will ensure all delegates are qualified leads, but we would like to understand any added value in terms of promoting the East Midlands opportunities to a wider audience.

• The event should take place in a quirky, central London venue, although we understand that this will be cost and availability dependent.
• The format should allow for presentations, one-to-one discussions allowing each of the partners to meet each delegate, and networking, allowing partners to invite site specialists to take part.
• Preferably the event will be during the day and take place as a half day or full day event (as advised by the supplier).

To aid pre-event development, Invest in Nottingham and the project partners will:
• Provide a briefing on the projects and opportunities they are marketing
• Where possible, provide a "wish list" of the types of delegate who would best match the opportunities they are offering.
