II.2.4) Description of the procurement

NRW have had success in promoting and communicating the diversity of our services; e.g. the forestry and agricultural sectors, including but not limited to issues from water and flood defences to countryside management at two key events, The Royal Welsh Show and the Eisteddfod Festival.

We are committed to repeating both our attendance and success at both of these events for the foreseeable future, as well as looking for other event opportunities to promote our services in the most effective way possible; accordingly, we are looking for a supplier who can work with our communications team to deliver a ‘managed service’ including but not limited to:- project management, design, transportation, installation, hosting and presenting.

Events supported by NRW are all about interaction between those hosting the event, fellow exhibitors and visitors. Whilst not an exhaustive list NRW believe the key benefits of Event and Display Materials as: -

- Giving a human face to our organisation;

- Providing information directly and personally to our customers;

- Receiving direct feedback from customers and stakeholders;

- Launching initiatives to a target audience; either as part of or alongside the main event. This could also include policy approaches;

- Providing keynote speaking opportunities;

- Providing other opportunities for more specialist contact through seminars, clinics or on-stand presentations;

- Providing us with an opportunity to work with our partners;

- Improving public/community relations and instil goodwill;

- Enhancing or managing our reputation and profile;

- Raising our brand image and public profile;

Whilst not limited to; NRW require the design, build and production with associated event management for: -

- Stand design and build

- Staging and Materials for events (including consumables)

- Display Materials, such as

pull-ups

banners

nomadic design and creation of models and family activities

NRW have previously and expect in future to have a presence at national and local events including the Eisteddfodau and the Royal Welsh Show. This lot also covers both external and internal ad hoc conferences and workshops.

NRW holds a Team NRW day – our staff conference which current thinking leads us to believe will be annual. This draws around 800 of our staff together for a day and we require a managed service for this, including the provision of food, exhibition materials and consumables.

In recognition of the significance of these events it is essential that supplier(s) work with NRW’s communications team to ensure that all projects and outputs are delivered according to our business objectives and plans and essentially be reflective of our values and identity.

Resultant designs and publications etc., must be in both English and Welsh - but not separate designs

NRW requires the supplier to assist in:

- Bringing ideas to life by creating compelling stories;

- Building upon and protecting our reputation;

- Delivering and supporting bespoke guest experiences and unique activities;

- Innovative hands on activities for event visitors;

- Providing an onsite presence to support hospitality and on-site assistance;
