Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham commissioned business improvement district (BID) development consultancy for Shepherds Bush. The work supports the creation of a BID by building business backing for a successful ballot, engaging major levy payers and decision-makers, and preparing a robust BID proposal and business plan. It also covers ballot campaigning if required and help to establish the BID after a successful result. The consultancy involves business analysis and stakeholder engagement, with a focus on the Shepherds Bush area, including priority employers on Wood Lane. The council is the buyer and will decide whether the work progresses from planning and support testing to the next stage.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Primera Corporation Limited, an SME. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028; its gross value is £107,247. It is a single-lot service contract. The work is structured in stages: initial assessment and engagement, BID proposal and business planning, ballot preparation and campaign support, then establishment and handover if the ballot succeeds. The council retains sole discretion over progression to the second stage. Agreed measures include evidence of business support, proposal understanding, a credible route to ballot success and, if successful, effective BID governance and operational handover.

For suppliers competing for similar BID development work, this award shows the value the council places on combining consultation, business analysis, campaign delivery and practical post-ballot support. A credible provider needs to engage levy-paying businesses broadly and secure meaningful involvement from high-value businesses, influential voters, Wood Lane employers and decision-makers. Strong evidence gathering and analysis are essential, including testing support, refining boundaries and levy options, identifying ballot risks and demonstrating a plausible path to success by both business numbers and rateable value. Suppliers should also be able to produce a compliant BID proposal and business plan, create campaign materials, report progress, support the ballot through declaration and deliver governance advice and a structured handover if a BID is established. The selected provider is an SME.
