Description

We wish to retain a full-service communications agency (or a collaboration of agencies) from November 2017 to March 2020. We are looking for advice on our PR strategy and delivery, with support in a number of specific areas including:
• Videos, animations and video diaries
• Content creation for a whole range of channels (see below)
• Exhibitions and events
• PR and media
• Webpages and social media
This Pre-Qualifying Questionnaire is intended to identify suitable agencies to submit proposals for the tender.

Centrica plc's Cornwall Local Energy Market project (LEM) is a (£19m) part EU funded pioneering initiative involving the development of a virtual marketplace. The trial provides participants (homes and businesses) with a platform to buy and sell energy and flexibility both to the supply networks and the wholesale energy market. The project will also be installing new generation, and energy storage solutions, which will allow us to explore how individuals and businesses interact with the technology.

We believe this hugely exciting project will provide major findings that can inform the Government, National Grid and regulators about how the UK can best develop new and effective markets for flexible energy. Further details, including a short film, are available on our website: https://www.centrica.com/about-us/what-we-do/distributed-energy-and-power/building-new-energy-future.
