Specifications include, but are not limited to: Through this Request for Proposals (RFP) the New Hampshire Department of Business and Economic Affairs (Agency) seeks a qualified contractor to assess business attraction practices, and develop a Business Recruitment and Expansion (BRE) strategy for the agency. Over the past two years, the efforts of attracting new businesses to states has faced considerable changes in the tactics, tools, messaging and approaches traditionally used. As a result of the pandemic, there is a new normal in nearly every aspect of business, work, and life, creating challenges but potentially new opportunities for attraction practices. We have seen and are experiencing changes of businesses models used in New Hampshire and are trying to anticipate what the future holds in terms of economic competitiveness. The BRE will be a critical tool for New Hampshire to be innovative in positioning the state as a leader in capturing and developing businesses and niche sectors.
