SUPPLIER QUESTIONS & RESPONSES: 15/9/15

We have received a question from a potential bidder for this service and deem the response should be distributed to all other bidders to ensure equal treatment.

QUESTION: “I have question regarding the Public Relations Services tender, concerning bullet point 4 where it mentions 'regular' press releases to complement the Growth Hub's ERDF marketing and communications strategy.”

RESPONSE: “We would wish on an-ongoing basis regular press releases to be no less frequent than once a month, and consider daily press releases as too many, but we would rely upon the PR agency to advice us on what they believe would be realistic and of benefit.”
