Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London focused on measuring footfall and visitor behaviours at Epping Forest. The title of the contract is "Epping Forest Visitor Information. Measure the footfall and visitor behaviours." The process pertains to services within the non-residential property services industry category. The project is located in the City of London, and it has reached the award stage with the contract already signed on 25th July 2025. The procurement, which was classified as "below threshold" and executed directly without competition, will run from 31st July 2025 to 31st July 2026, with a total value of £30,030.

This contract is an excellent opportunity for businesses equipped to provide visitor analytics and measurement services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like the awarded supplier, Place Informatics Ltd. It is ideally suited for companies with expertise in analysing visitor behaviour and footfall, aiming to expand their portfolio in public sector projects. The focus on a direct procurement method without competition suggests that having a strong pre-existing relationship with the buying organisation or a niche service offering could have been advantageous for securing the contract.
