About this opportunity

The Village of Oak Brook, Illinois, has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Public Relations and Social Media Services to support its "Only in Oak Brook" tourism brand. The procurement seeks a public relations agency to provide comprehensive services for a one-year contract beginning October 1, 2025, with potential renewals through September 30, 2030. Key deliverables include generating media coverage, driving destination awareness, and increasing hotel bookings for the village's seven hotels. The selected agency will be responsible for developing strategic media campaigns, creating content, managing social media platforms, coordinating media visits and influencer engagements, and promoting Oak Brook as a premier suburban destination in the Chicagoland area. Proposals are due by 10:00 AM on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, via the Village's eProcurement Portal. The evaluation process will assess proposals based on strategy and innovation (25 points), budget approach and cost-effectiveness (25 points), agency experience (20 points), understanding of Oak Brook's needs (15 points), and team qualifications (15 points), with a total possible score of 100 points.

The RFP does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technology infrastructure that would require integration. The Village has established a maximum budget of $60,000 for the initial contract term, including expenses. Respondents should be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive public relations and social media expertise, with a focus on tourism and destination marketing. The contract allows for four optional one-year renewals, potentially extending the total contract value and engagement period. Interested firms must submit their proposals through the specified eProcurement Portal, with the Village reserving the right to reject any or all proposals, waive technical or legal deficiencies, and negotiate terms as deemed most favorable to the Village's interests.
