## Summary

This procurement process, commissioned by East Suffolk Council, involves the consultancy services for the Martello Tower 'P' project's business planning and audience development. The industry category is business development consultancy services, specifically aimed at enhancing heritage attractions. Located in Suffolk, UK, the contract's procurement stage has been completed, with awards finalised on 17 March 2026 and signed on 3 March 2026. The limited competition method was employed, below the threshold, for services amounting to £50,388 in gross value, lasting until 1 August 2026.

Large firms equipped to handle comprehensive feasibility studies and audience development plans are well-suited to compete, as demonstrated by the successful supplier, The Visitor Business. This process exemplifies the Council's commitment to elevating cultural heritage, offering a promising platform for consultancies specialising in strategic planning and audience engagement.

## Notice

The Council has now been awarded feasibility stage funding from the National Lottery Heritage Lottery Fund to develop the concept of a heritage attraction and test ideas for the site and explore further the extent of repairs and restoration required, as well as how to overcome the access limitations presented by the current site. There are two strands of work which this contract intends to commission: preparation of the Business Plan, and the creation of the Outline Audience Development and Activity Plan.
