Before they embarked on what could be a PS20m refurbishment, as part of a business plan, they wish to engage a consultant to carry out a full economic and cultural benefit study in line with the Governments Green Book and DCMS guidelines. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/115abbf0-9017-4220-a891-0d4ca7ba6ca0 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Feb 2026 | | Submission deadline | 19 Apr 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 15 May 2025 | | Contract period | 19 May 2025 - 20 May 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £14,750 | | 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 | PETERSFIELD TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | PETERSFIELD | | Post town | Guildford | | Postcode | GU31 4EA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ36 Central Hampshire | | Local authority | East Hampshire | | Electoral ward | Petersfield St Peter's | | Westminster constituency | East Hampshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | GENECON | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79300000 - Market and economic research; polling and statistics ## Release History - 17 Feb 2026 at 13:48 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/115abbf0-9017-4220-a891-0d4ca7ba6ca0 - 17 Feb 2026 at 13:31 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe8be4bf-875f-4a98-bf06-a54cbd86193c - 18 Mar 2025 at 10:38 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe8be4bf-875f-4a98-bf06-a54cbd86193c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/115abbf0-9017-4220-a891-0d4ca7ba6ca0 17th February 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe8be4bf-875f-4a98-bf06-a54cbd86193c 17th February 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b0b51882-0d9c-4ab1-9f26-cfe2a3e840e0 The brief is provided for the consultant to provide a full tender quote to Petersfield Town Council which will be considered one of the Festival Hall Development Committees. ## Notice URLs - http://www.petersfield-tc.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
