Proposals without clear pricing will not be considered.

Please provide fixed prices for the following:
Trial Batch: 50 completed records
Production Batch: Per 1,000 completed records
Your proposal should also include:
Estimated turnaround time per batch

Scope of Work – UK Operator Research (Manual List Building)
Research UK-based operators that both take bookings and directly deliver experiences, tours or activities themselves. Include only the actual service providers. Exclude agents, resellers, marketplaces, aggregators or any business that does not run and fulfil the activity in-house.
Companies must control and fulfil the experience themselves and must not operate solely as listing platforms, brokers, agents, or ticket resellers.
Use the attached market categories document as the target markets.

Data Structure & Consistency
Correct spelling, clean clickable URLs and consistent formatting are required.

Trial Batch Benchmarks
The first batch will be reviewed against the following benchmarks:
Minimum 80% relevant companies
Minimum 60% verified senior emails

Project Structure & Commitment
Phase 1 – Trial Batch
The project will begin with an initial trial delivery of 50 completed records. This phase will be used to evaluate research quality, relevance and adherence to the requirements.
Phase 2 – Scaled Delivery
If the trial batch meets expectations, the project may continue in larger batches of up to 1,000 records at a time.

Flexible Engagement
This is an ongoing research engagement rather than a fixed-volume contract. Work may be paused or stopped by the client at any stage, during or after any batch, without further commitment or obligation and for any reason. Additional batches must not begin without explicit approval.

File Format
Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) or Google Sheets format only
UTF-8 compatible text formatting

Data Ownership
All data created as part of this project becomes the sole property of the client upon payment and may not be reused or resold elsewhere.

Right to Pause or Stop
The project may be paused or stopped after any delivery for any reason by the buyer.

Client Acceptance Rights
The client reserves full discretion to accept or reject any submitted batch based on relevance, accuracy, structure, or adherence to the requirements outlined in this brief.

Acceptance is confirmed only when the client explicitly approves the batch in writing within the platform.
If a batch does not meet expectations or benchmarks, the client may reject the submission and discontinue the engagement immediately.
If a batch is rejected, the client will not release payment for that milestone.

Trial Batch Evaluation
The initial 50-record trial batch will be assessed against the stated quality benchmarks.
Failure to meet benchmarks may result in rejection of the batch and closure of the contract without further obligation.
