Summary of the contracting process

North York Moors National Park is seeking research and evaluation services to support its tourism campaign running through 2027 and 2028. The work is classified as market research and direct marketing services, and is intended to evaluate the campaign as well as inform its delivery. The contract description identifies the National Park as the client; delivery locations are listed across England and Scotland, including the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, the North West, the Midlands, the East of England, the South West and London. This is a services requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. Suppliers specialising in tourism research, campaign measurement, audience insight or evaluation may find the subject matter relevant.

The buyer invited offers through an open, below-threshold procedure. The published tender set a submission deadline of 22 October 2026 at 5pm. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 28 February 2029, covering the tourism campaign period and its evaluation. The procurement is presented as a single requirement, with no separate lots described. The estimated contract value and the evaluation or award criteria are not stated in the procurement details. The process reached the tender stage, when suppliers were invited to bid; the buyer is North York Moors National Park. The tender was published on 5 October 2026.

The opportunity is explicitly marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may be accessible to specialist research and evaluation firms as well as larger agencies. It is likely to suit suppliers able to design and deliver tourism campaign research, assess campaign performance and produce useful findings across a geographically broad audience. Relevant experience could include tourism marketing, market research, evaluation methods and communicating evidence to public-sector clients. The work spans the campaign and its subsequent evaluation, so bidders should be able to support activity over a sustained period rather than provide a one-off study. No particular accreditation, technical standard, minimum turnover, named staff qualification or capacity threshold is set out in the procurement details; commercial fit will therefore depend on a supplier’s relevant capability and ability to deliver the described research and evaluation.
