In plain English
The Royal Parks is seeking a single event company to plan, design, produce and run the Royal Parks Half Marathon, a large race that normally takes place on the second Sunday of October. The contract is estimated at £18,000,000 and the provider would work in partnership with The Royal Parks throughout. The notice describes it as a 'light touch' contract, a procurement term for services with simpler tendering rules.
What the buyer wants
• Plan, design, produce and deliver the Royal Parks Half Marathon, including its operational delivery on the day • Show the capability to deliver a major mass-participation event and work collaboratively with The Royal Parks to meet the event vision, objectives and the agreement's requirements • Read the Event Service Provider Specification on the Delta portal (access code WMMESZS6QF) for the full requirements
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The £18,000,000 estimated value and the requirement to show capability to deliver a major mass-participation event would most likely rule out a small business unless it has already run events of this scale.
