To achieve this the market towns wish to procure consultants to create a range of content suitable for the visitor and tourism markets for each town. In conjunction with this, the local district council is re-engaging with tourism after a gap of some years and has appointed a new Tourism Officer. The Town Councils welcome the creation of this post and want to complement it by improving the tourism offer for each of their towns. Work should commence in time to capture the autumn/Christmas holiday markets. Aim The aim is to promote the individuality and unique offer of each market town. This should also recognise opportunities for thematic experiential offers across all the towns within the district, and their immediate surroundings. Visitors may be unaware of the range of things to see, do and experience, or the choice of facilities available. These visitors could be day or overnight/weekend visitors. The aim is to provide various forms of content and visitor information that emphasizes the distinctiveness of each town. Whilst distinct to each town, content should be engaging, similar in terms of tone, and be complementary across the towns within the district. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/797e388d-664e-445f-b4f6-80c774e1a7c4 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 12 Sep 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Nov 2022 | | Contract period | 14 Nov 2022 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £24,950 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | STROUD TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | STROUD | | Post town | Gloucester | | Postcode | GL5 2AD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK73 Gloucestershire CC | | Local authority | Stroud | | Electoral ward | Stroud Central | | Westminster constituency | Stroud | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | TOURISM ANGLES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 75125000 - Administrative services related to tourism affairs - 92312211 - Writing agency services ## Release History - 25 Nov 2022 at 12:25 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/797e388d-664e-445f-b4f6-80c774e1a7c4 - 6 Sep 2022 at 13:17 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a3c1d8e8-fca8-43d9-ae8c-29e8aa39a168 - 26 Aug 2022 at 11:16 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a3c1d8e8-fca8-43d9-ae8c-29e8aa39a168 - 1 Aug 2022 at 10:51 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a3c1d8e8-fca8-43d9-ae8c-29e8aa39a168 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/797e388d-664e-445f-b4f6-80c774e1a7c4 25th November 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a3c1d8e8-fca8-43d9-ae8c-29e8aa39a168 6th September 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d722487f-45d2-4231-b2de-74083bf9ec94 Tender brief, including form of tender. - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9c162761-5422-45d4-a1ef-2da3dbc6acd1 Form of tender - Word version - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/eb527da4-88de-4775-8a97-32added54d51 Questions received as at 26/8/2022 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d6a2dd92-8ec5-4ab7-b99c-9823ab4f9a51 Final responses to bidders questions. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
