The assessment is intended to provide evidence for the Council’s decisions during formal consultation and scheme development. This is economic and financial consultancy work focused on the effects of a visitor levy in Perth and Kinross. The procurement has been awarded to EKOS Ltd, following a quotation exercise. The awarded value is £14,950. The tender deadline was 11 April 2026; no award date or contract period is stated. The contract is recorded as active. The assessment supports a 12-week formal consultation and scheme development process. The available details do not describe lots or the basis used to evaluate quotations. For a consultancy competing for similar work from Perth & Kinross Council, this award demonstrates demand for independent economic impact assessment to inform a visitor levy consultation and scheme design. A credible supplier would need to show relevant economic analysis capability and the ability to produce clear evidence for public-sector decision-making. The work is a focused consultancy assignment rather than a large-scale service contract, so firms able to deliver a defined assessment are the closest fit. ## Notice Perth & Kinross Council (PKC)invited quotations from consultants to undertake an independent Economic Impact Assessment (EIA) of the Council's proposed Fixed Rate Visitor Levy Scheme. The EIA will provide an evidence base to support decision making during the 12-week formal stage consultation and scheme development process. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566288 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £14,950 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Perth & Kinross Council | | Additional buyers | Aberdeenshire Council; Clackmannanshire Council; Fife Council; Moray Council; NHS Fife; NHS Lanarkshire; North Lanarkshire Council; Registers of Scotland; Revenue Scotland; Scottish Borders Council; Scottish Enterprise; Scottish Government; The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as Public Services Delivery Scotland) (PSD Scotland); The James Hutton Institute | | Locality | PERTH | | Postcode area | Perth | | Postcode | PH1 5PH | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM0 Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM02 Perth and Kinross, and Stirling | | Local authority | Perth and Kinross | | Electoral ward | Perth City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Perth and Kinross-shire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 22 | | Supplier names | EKOS; Laboratory Specialist Services Ltd; Gerald Eve LLP; G3 Consulting Engineers Limited; BMI Ross Hall Hospital; Kings Park Hospital; Elanic Ltd; Nuffield Health; Spire Healthcare; Venesky Brown Ltd; SKODA UK; AECOM; Perth Radio Taxis Limited; Quo Imus Limited; Jeremy Benn Associates Limited; BB7 Consulting Limited; Local Transport Projects Ltd; J Thomson Colour Printers Ltd; Algo (Blairgowrie) Ltd; PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP; Conor Price Engineering Limited; Central Taxis (North East) Limited | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services ### Codes - 66171000 - Financial consultancy services ## Release History - 8 Oct 2026 at 15:24 - Award - PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566288 ## Notice URLs - http://https://revenue.scot/ - http://https://www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk - http://publicservicesdelivery.scot/about/procurement/ - http://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk - http://www.clacks.gov.uk/business/corporateprocurementprocess/ - http://www.fife.gov.uk - http://www.hutton.ac.uk - http://www.moray.gov.uk - http://www.nhsfife.org - http://www.nhslanarkshire.org.uk - http://www.pkc.gov.uk/article/15478/Tenders-and-contracts - http://www.ros.gov.uk - http://www.scotborders.gov.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - http://www.scottish-enterprise.com/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
