Vendor readiness steps based on what’s published
For the Creative & Digital Media RFP, the posted RFP package identifies an “Integrated Marketing Agency” scope and describes digital media strategy/buying deliverables and creative/campaign development responsibilities. To be ready, vendors should be prepared to respond as an agency partner for either or both components, and they should align their capabilities to measurable marketing outcomes and cross-discipline collaboration expectations described in the RFP. For food and beverage management, vendors should be prepared to propose for exclusive food and beverage sales and other guest services at the America’s Center Convention Complex, as indicated on the RFPs & RFQs page. Vendors should verify any additional qualifications, required forms, and instructions inside each attached RFP document linked from the source page before preparing a submission.
Capture and compliance strategy for Explore St. Louis submissions
Because the Explore St. Louis RFPs & RFQs page routes vendors to downloadable RFP documents (and the creative & digital media package is provided as a PDF), the safest approach is to treat each listed opportunity as a separate compliance track: confirm the exact scope, component structure (where applicable), and the full set of required submission materials directly from the linked RFP package. Use the posted RFP date and the document’s stated requirements to build your internal submission timeline, and keep a checklist that mirrors what the RFP asks for (deliverables, how results are measured, and partner collaboration expectations when specified). If an opportunity is hosted via a different link method than the PDF, confirm that you are using the correct “Review RFP” attachment before drafting your response.
Explore St. Louis procurement resources and vendor next steps
Start with the Explore St. Louis RFPs & RFQs source page to see current opportunities and open the linked RFP documents for full instructions. For the Creative & Digital Media opportunity, review the attached “Integrated Marketing Agency” RFP package for scope and component details before preparing your proposal. If you need a human point of contact to support procurement questions, the Explore St. Louis staff directory is a published contact resource, and the Finance section includes a “Purchasing Manager” listing—verify which role aligns with the opportunity you’re pursuing and then use the RFP package itself for any submission-specific instructions.
