On behalf of Grant Thornton UAE, I would like to extend our sincere thanks for the time, energy, and creativity your team invested in preparing and presenting your proposal. We truly valued the opportunity to learn more about your approach and appreciated the professionalism and insight you brought to the process. The review was highly competitive, and every agency demonstrated clear strengths. After careful comparison, we have decided to move forward with another partner whose overall balance felt more closely aligned with our immediate needs. To provide a bit of context, we looked at: Strategic creativity – the ability to bring fresh, differentiated ideas that can strengthen GT’s positioning in a highly competitive market. Team dynamic and ways of working – how naturally the collaboration style would fit with our internal culture, values, and stakeholders. Commercial structure and flexibility – ensuring that scope and pricing align with the priorities we must address in the coming year. While we saw real strengths in your team, other agencies showed a slightly stronger balance across these criteria. We are very grateful for the insights you shared and for the positive engagement throughout the process. We’d like to keep the door open and explore future opportunities to work together where there is strong alignment.
