UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Newquay Town Council is planning to commission consultancy support for a Visit Newquay Destination and Events Strategy. The work is intended to shape Newquay’s approach to destination development and events, combining performance review, general management consultancy, marketing management and evaluation consultancy. It is a services requirement rather than construction, supply or operational delivery. The subject is centred on Newquay and concerns the wider destination and events offer. Potential suppliers should expect to contribute strategic advice, assessment and recommendations relevant to tourism, destination management, event development and place marketing. The council is the public-sector buyer and is seeking contact from suppliers interested in carrying out the consultancy project.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a request for market engagement, not an invitation to tender. Newquay Town Council expects to seek expressions of interest by email by 12 noon on 2 October 2026, with the engagement milestone recorded as due on that date. The planned contract period is 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £6,000 excluding VAT, or £7,200 including VAT, and the requirement is below the relevant threshold. The procurement is arranged as one lot, currently in planning. The council has not yet set out a tender procedure, submission method or evaluation basis in this process; interested suppliers are expected to request the full project specification by email.

The work is likely to suit specialist destination-management, tourism, events and place-marketing consultancies, as well as smaller firms with relevant strategic and evaluation expertise. Strong candidates will be able to review current performance, assess destination and event activity, develop practical strategy and translate findings into marketing and management recommendations. Experience of working with town councils, local authorities, tourism organisations, event partners or comparable destinations would be commercially relevant. The requirement also favours suppliers able to combine research, consultation, evaluation and strategic planning rather than offering only standalone marketing delivery. Firms should prepare a concise account of their relevant destination, events, consultancy and evaluation experience for the buyer’s market engagement, while recognising that the project is not yet available for tender.
