Summary of the contracting process

Market Drayton Town Council is seeking town marketing, promotion and business support services to raise Market Drayton’s profile, attract visitors and support local economic growth. The work includes promoting the town for shopping, leisure and tourism; engaging with local businesses; delivering a small programme of community events to increase footfall; and creating digital marketing content. The contractor will also keep town news and events up to date on the Make it Market Drayton website, with administrative support from the Council. Delivery is in Market Drayton. The consultant is expected to work with the Town Council, Shropshire Council’s Economic Development Team and Visit Shropshire. This is a business and marketing consultancy service (CPV 79000000).

The Town Council invited tenders through an open procedure. The submission deadline was 27 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the stated award period begins on 2 December 2026 at 10:00 UTC. The contract is due to start on 1 April 2027, initially for two years, with two possible one-year extensions. Extensions are subject to funding, business need and satisfactory performance. Bids may be submitted electronically or in writing, in English, and variants are not permitted. The procurement is arranged as one lot. The tender sets out no award scoring or evaluation basis. The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers.

This opportunity suits a consultant or organisation with practical experience in town or destination marketing, business engagement and community-focused promotion. Suppliers should be able to create and publish engaging content across digital channels, maintain a regular programme of local news and events, and plan and deliver community events intended to increase footfall. The work calls for collaboration with a town council, local businesses and regional tourism and economic development partners. A creative, proactive approach and the ability to support local economic activity are relevant to the brief. The service combines strategic promotion with ongoing website and communications work and a small events programme, so bidders should be equipped to manage varied activities and maintain effective working relationships with public-sector and business stakeholders.
