BAA Airports, the global airport operator, is assembling a list of PR agencies interested in pitching for Heathrow Airport’s PR business.
BAA issued a pre-qualification questionnaire to assemble a short list of about six firms that will receive a formal “invitation to tender.”
Heathrow, 15 miles from London, is a global hub to 90 countries with as many airlines utilizing its gates. It employs 72,000 people.
The account, worth from £300- £400k per annum, is split into two lots: media relations/ financial communications, and policy/political relations consulting.
BAA expects to award a two-year contract with a year-long option to two firms.
The PQQ (deadline Oct. 18) can be viewed here (DOC) while additional documents are available after free registration at the airport procurement portal airportsmart.com.
London agencies Mischief and Finsbury have worked with BAA and Heathrow.
