Back in July, the East Midlands Development Agency (EMDA) put out for tender the redevelopment of the England's East Midlands website (www.englandseastmidlands.com) to reinvigorate the site and make it more appealing and relevant to international businesses looking to relocate to our region.

EMDA used the ‘supply2gov.uk' tender website, a national contract opportunity portal provided by Business Link, to ask for expressions of interest. Of the 80 expressions of interest, and subject to two tender stages, Absolute was short listed to present our proposal along with five other agencies.

Our understanding of the nature of foreign direct investments and its impact on the region meant that we were well equipped to manage such a project. Having worked with EMDA on many regional projects in past years, we were delighted to get the call that we had won the contract. We are proud to be part of something that will help support businesses throughout the region and we're looking forward to applying our integrated creative web design and technical development skills to this prestigious new website.
