What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) unifies what was the Department for International Trade and the business-facing parts of what was the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.  It brings sector, market and regulation experts together with world-class trade negotiators and business-support teams across the UK and overseas. This is to make the UK the best place to start and grow a company – helping create the business growth that contributes to better jobs and higher wages and living standards.

DBT is looking for a specialist B2B PR agency. The agency must have proven capabilities to provide PR strategies that support securing proactive PR coverage across a range of domestic media outlets.
