This procurement aims to conduct a detailed study into the economic and broader value of tourism. The tender is divided into two Lots: the economic value of tourism and the wider impact of tourism, and agencies can bid for either or both Lots. This open procedure, valued between £85,000 and £140,000, invites proposals from SMEs and VCSEs. The tender period closes on 12 August 2024, with the contract beginning on 28 August 2024 and concluding by the end of December 2024. Interested suppliers can access the documentation via the Atamis eprocurement system. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in economic research and consultancy within the tourism sector. Companies adept at generating detailed, localised, and impactful reports on economic metrics will find Lot 1 particularly suitable. In contrast, Lot 2 will appeal to those with expertise in broader socio-economic and environmental impacts. The project's focus on regenerative tourism strategy and positive transformation highlights an excellent opportunity for businesses committed to sustainability and community development. Participation in this tender can enhance business reputation and expand their portfolio within the public sector. ## Notice VisitBritain and VisitEngland are procuring a study into the economic and wider value of tourism. These are being tendered as separate Lots. Agencies are able to bid for either Lot separately, or both. Agencies should specify which Lot they are bidding for and, if both, submit proposals and prices separately. VisitEngland is adopting a regenerative tourism strategy, and our vision is positive transformation for people and places. Activities focuses on 4 key pathways: PEOPLE (Visitors and Communities), PLACE (Nature, Net Zero and Responsible use of resources), PARTNERSHIP (Collaboration and Governance) and PROSPERITY (Jobs, Livelihoods and Green Growth. This project will play an important role in feeding into the implementation of this strategy Lot 1: Economic value of tourism. Quantifying the size and impact of the tourism economy is vital to building an understanding of tourism. VisitBritain released a report in 2012, available here (PDF), which detailed the economic contribution of the tourism economy in the UK. Our requirements for this tender will include updating some of the metrics in that report and we recommend all bidders consult that report to understand the background and requirements. We are seeking a shorter, more streamlined report with less modelling and analysis this time, although with a greater level of local detail. Lot 2: Wider impact of tourism. Whilst tourism is widely perceived as adding economic value, in this second Lot BTA would like to explore and understand the wider value of tourism in Britain/England. It is important to recognise that tourism has a value above and beyond the monetary value to the economy. Therefore, BTA is strongly interested in exploring how the tourism sector impacts more widely on people, communities, and the environment in Britain/England.
