## Summary

Tewkesbury Borough Council initiated a procurement process titled "Tewkesbury Market Operator" aimed at appointing a service operator for the Tewkesbury market. The procurement process intended to grant a concession contract spanning five years, required managing twice-weekly markets effectively in Tewkesbury, UK (Region UKK13). Despite being under the "services" category with an open procurement method, the process was eventually terminated on 1st April 2026 as no tenders were submitted by the deadline. Initially announced in November 2025, the procurement involved competitive procedures evaluated on cost, quality, and social value, but will now require an alternative procurement approach under the new Procurement Act 2023.

This tender presented opportunities for businesses, especially those with expertise in market operations or community services, to manage local markets while maintaining a sustainable business model. With a gross contract value of £120,000, business service providers involved in consulting, financial, or operational management could find growth avenues. While the initial tender didn't attract bidders, future alternative procurement methods might still provide avenues for eligible businesses to leverage their strategic capabilities in managing community-oriented projects.

## Notice

Tewkesbury Borough Council is seeking to appoint an Operator capable of entering into a full concession contract for services for up to 5 years. The Operator must be able to manage the twice weekly markets in such a way as to offer quality service to the community whilst maintaining a sustainable business model. The contract will be a concession contract with a co-terminous licence for the markets.
