Communications and Marketing Services

The Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) is seeking firms to provide Statewide Communication & Marketing Services through a Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation numbered MRDA003-CM. This procurement is specifically targeting communication and marketing services for the state of Connecticut, with a focus on Hartford County. The RFP opens on October 1, 2024, at 9:00 AM EDT and closes on October 29, 2024, at 4:00 PM EDT, with a vendor question and answer period scheduled from October 1, 2024, at 9:15 AM EDT through October 9, 2024, at 4:00 PM EDT. Interested vendors are required to submit proposals that outline their capabilities to deliver comprehensive communication and marketing services statewide. The solicitation includes two key documents: the main RFP document (MRDA Comms RFP 2024 - FINAL 9-30-24.pdf) and a Q&A addendum (MRDA RFP 003-COMM QA Addendum 1 dated 10.15.24.pdf), which likely contain detailed specifications, required qualifications, and evaluation criteria for potential vendors.

The RFP is open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no explicit details about existing infrastructure or technology requirements for integration. The solicitation specifies Free On Board Destination delivery terms with vendor-specified payment terms, but notably does not provide an estimated total value or budget range for the contract. Interested vendors should contact Jennifer Gaffey at the Capital Region Development Authority, located at 100 Columbus Blvd., Suite 500, Hartford, CT, 06103, for any additional information or clarifications about the procurement. The lack of specific line items and total contract value suggests that the CRDA is seeking flexible, comprehensive communication and marketing services that can be tailored to their evolving needs.
