The contract will commence on 1st April 2018 and will run until 31st March 2021, with service delivery required across the South East region, including areas such as Battle, Bexhill, and Rye. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the tourism and administrative services sectors, particularly those capable of providing visitor information services and leaflet distribution.

The contract will require the supplier to actively promote the 1066 Country campaign and events, attractions, places of interest and facilities across the District.

Wealden District Council requires a supplier to distribute the "Wealden Do the Best Attractions" Leaflet to local businesses, meeting points & places of interest within the local area and surrounding areas up to 2 1/2 hours' drive from Wealden's boundary.
