UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Hart District Council, is focused on the development of the Hart Countryside Services Development Plan for 2025. The tender seeks a skilled consultant to independently assess and evaluate five key countryside sites from both visitor and staff perspectives. This is part of the 'open competition' procurement method, categorised under survey services, feasibility study, and public-opinion polling services, with services to be delivered in the UKJ region, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently active with the tender period ending on 30th July 2025, and initial inquiries closed on 16th July 2025. The contract is estimated to be valued at £48,000 and is due to start on 1st August 2025, with the potential for a two-month extension until January 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses skilled in consultancy and evaluation services, particularly those with experience in environmental and public sector projects. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) given the 'below threshold' nature of the competition. Companies specialising in research and analysis, with capabilities to conduct comprehensive surveys and feasibility studies, are well-suited to compete. The project offers growth prospects through engagement in public sector services, potentially leading to further collaborations with local government authorities. Interested organisations are encouraged to review the detailed specifications available in the tender documents for full participation requirements.
