Description

The Crown Estate has undergone a significant and ongoing transformation in the last four years with a strategy to play a nationally significant role in some of the key challenges facing the country where it can have a meaningful impact: net zero and energy security, nature recovery, inclusive communities, and economic growth. This transformation has evolved The Crown Estate to work in an open and proactive engagement approach which it needs to continue to evolve and innovate to deliver business objectives and to protect the Licence to Operate. As an organisation accountable to Parliament, The Crown Estate must continue to build understanding and credibility to deliver on its strategy whilst continuing to build this understanding credibly in devolved nations and English Regions.

In order to support this strategy we would like to appoint an agency(s) for the following areas:

1) Public Affairs and Engagement agency to support The Crown Estate to build and manage its relationships and activity amongst key stakeholders and across its key markets through its public affairs and engagement activities. This includes Public Affairs, stakeholder engagement utilising a broad range of tactics, policy analysis and development, message development and report writing. The agency will primarily support TCE activity in energy (in particular marine industries and offshore renewables) and Property sectors (focusing on planning and development across commercial property, housing, regeneration and built environment).

2) Corporate Communications agency to support The Crown Estate to build and manage its reputation amongst key stakeholders and across its key markets through its external communications activities. This includes, but is not limited to, media relations, social media, website, narrative and key message development. The main objectives are to grow reputation by increasing awareness and understanding of the organisation, its role and the impact it has for the nation.
