In plain English
Sheffield City Council is asking Christmas Market suppliers whether they're interested in working with them. This is NOT a formal tender and no contract will be awarded yet. It's just the Council testing the market to see who's out there.
What the buyer wants
• Respond to a soft market engagement exercise (not a bid) • Indicate your interest in supplying or operating a Christmas Market for Sheffield City Council • Provide information about your capability and experience in this area
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This is a soft market test only, no contract will be awarded, so there are no formal disqualifiers; however, lack of Christmas market or events experience would make your response irrelevant.
Always check the tender documents.
