Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council commissioned an independent economic impact assessment of its proposed fixed-rate visitor levy scheme. The assessment is intended to provide evidence for the Council’s decisions during formal consultation and scheme development. This is economic and financial consultancy work focused on the effects of a visitor levy in Perth and Kinross.

The procurement has been awarded to EKOS Ltd, following a quotation exercise. The awarded value is £14,950. The tender deadline was 11 April 2026; no award date or contract period is stated. The contract is recorded as active. The assessment supports a 12-week formal consultation and scheme development process. The available details do not describe lots or the basis used to evaluate quotations.

For a consultancy competing for similar work from Perth & Kinross Council, this award demonstrates demand for independent economic impact assessment to inform a visitor levy consultation and scheme design. A credible supplier would need to show relevant economic analysis capability and the ability to produce clear evidence for public-sector decision-making. The work is a focused consultancy assignment rather than a large-scale service contract, so firms able to deliver a defined assessment are the closest fit.
