Oakengates Town Council wants to appoint an experienced event management company to plan and run a carnival and parade in Oakengates, Telford, in summer 2027 (exact date to be agreed). The winning company would handle planning, entertainment, food and merchandise stalls, marketing, safety arrangements, fundraising ideas and a final report on how the event went.

What the buyer wants

• Plan and run the whole carnival and parade under the Council's direction, including timelines, logistics, entertainment, stallholders, marketing, health and safety, and income generation • Provide a company profile, a detailed proposed plan, a full budget breakdown, evidence of public liability insurance, and contact details for at least two previous clients • Deliver a post-event report with attendance figures, feedback and recommendations for future events

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

A late or incomplete tender, missing public liability insurance evidence or client references, or lacking a track record of running public events of this size would most likely rule out a small business, and the notice gives no contract value to show whether the scale suits a very small firm.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
