Description

The LEP, on behalf of the NP11, are looking to procure a strategic communications agency to support the NP11's voice and visibility objectives as it continues to build its profile across the North and nationally, from a high-quality provider that delivers a service that is demonstrably focused around the needs of The NP11.

This will include providing strategic and tactical PR, stakeholder engagement, public affairs and other support to help the NP11 deliver its policy priorities, influence Government, investors, business leaders and other key decision-makers in support of pan-Northern priorities, and position Northern business leaders as central to delivering on the Northern Powerhouse ambition of the North as a dynamic, innovative business location with a major role to play in driving UK prosperity beyond Brexit and COVID-19.

As well as devising and delivering this programme of strategic communications and engagement activity, a requirement of this brief is to provide a resource to coordinate wider communications activity related to the NP11 agenda, working with the NP11 executive team and LEP comms leads, and to maintain the NP11 website and social media channels.
