TfGM Sponsorship Agency Service Framework

Procurement for the establishment of a Framework to cover Sponsorship Agency Services. TfGM’s Commercial team has been successfully generating income through the exploitation of TfGM’s diverse assets over the last few years; identifying and delivering new and innovative commercial partnerships aligned to the strategic principles of the Commercialisation Strategy and the Greater Manchester Transport Strategy 2040. This work has included successful partnerships with Vodafone (official Metrolink wifi sponsor), intu Trafford Centre (stop naming rights) and numerous campaigns with major events and brands within GM, including Ikea, BBC, Manchester International Festival and RHS. The team won the Silver Award in the Media Sales category in the Prolific North Awards 2019 and have delivered increased income levels as a result of their commercial partnerships work year on year. We anticipate that further opportunities will be identified and developed as a result of this procurement and believe that TfGM is able to offer many potential and visible opportunities, including the ability to reach both mass and specifically targeted audiences; a strong positive brand association with Manchester; the opportunity to provide a real life showcase of products and services and the ability to satisfy a wide range of marketing objectives. This procurement seeks to provide a framework agreement made up of two Lots tilted: Lot 1: Sponsorship Asset Valuation and Lot 2: Taking Sponsorship Opportunity to Market. Lot 1 of the framework requires agencies to support with the valuation and viability of existing projects within its portfolio but also to assist with the identification of opportunities not currently scoped for commercial sponsorship. The agencies should be able to help TfGM respond to demands from the market regarding the types of projects brands are looking to invest in.
