Summary of the contracting process

East Lindsey District Council commissioned consultancy services for the Lincolnshire Wolds visitor economy. The requirement is a feasibility study for the Wolds economy, covering research and related consultancy services (CPV 73000000). The council is based at The Hub in Horncastle, Lincolnshire. The work concerns economic and visitor-economy planning rather than construction, supply of goods or routine operational services. It is relevant to consultancies that advise public bodies on tourism, destination development, local economic growth, property, feasibility studies or related research. The procurement was managed with assistance from Public Sector Partnership Services Ltd. The requirement was divided into one lot and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it potentially relevant to specialist independent consultancies as well as larger multidisciplinary firms.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. East Lindsey District Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Colliers International Property Consultants Limited was selected for the feasibility study consultancy. The award and contract value is £45,000 excluding VAT, or £54,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 24 June 2026 and runs from 29 June 2026 to 12 November 2026. The award was recorded as active and the contract is active. The requirement was handled as a single lot. This outcome shows that the council chose a direct, below-threshold route rather than inviting competing tenders. The procurement is therefore an awarded contract, not an opportunity for suppliers to submit bids.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award indicates demand from East Lindsey District Council for focused visitor-economy and local-economic feasibility advice. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate robust research, commercial analysis and feasibility-assessment skills, with the ability to turn evidence into practical recommendations for the Lincolnshire Wolds economy. Experience advising councils or other public-sector clients on tourism, destinations, regeneration, property or economic development would be relevant. The selected supplier is a large property consultancy, so firms competing for similar work should be able to show either comparable multidisciplinary capability or a clearly defined specialist offer. The lot was suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller consultancy could be credible if it can evidence relevant assignments, sound analytical methods and capacity to deliver a self-contained study.
