## Summary

Herefordshire Council commissioned consultancy services to promote and develop the visitor economy across the whole county of Herefordshire, with a particular focus on tourism. The appointed provider is expected to lead activity that supports the county’s visitor economy and its tourism offer. The work is classified as business and management consultancy and related services (CPV 79400000). Herefordshire Council is the buying organisation, based in Hereford. Delivery covers the entire county rather than a single town or site. This is a countywide visitor-economy development and promotion requirement, relevant to consultancies with experience in tourism strategy, destination development, visitor marketing, business support and related public-sector economic development work.

The procurement has concluded and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It was a single-lot process, with the completed lot awarded to HEREFORDSHIRE COUNTY BID LTD. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The agreed delivery measures are support for 10 businesses without financial assistance, reaching 400 people, and supporting three local events or activities, with measurement recorded over three-month periods. The procurement was for services and was managed by Herefordshire Council.

This award shows demand from Herefordshire Council for a specialist provider able to combine visitor-economy consultancy with practical tourism promotion across an entire county. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need credible capability in destination or tourism development, business engagement, public-facing promotion and coordination of local events or activities. Experience of supporting businesses through non-financial advice would be relevant, as would the ability to define, monitor and report clear outputs for businesses supported, people reached and activities delivered. A strong competitor would also need sufficient countywide capacity, knowledge of local visitor economies and the ability to work with public, private and community stakeholders. The appointed supplier is an SME, indicating that this scale of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business.
