Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council has completed the procurement process for the "River of Light 2025 Lot 3. Event Site & Production Services" under the industry category of Security, fire-fighting, police, and defence equipment. The selective procedure led to the award being published on 17 June 2025, following tender closure on 22 April 2025. The contract period spans from 12 May 2025 to 10 November 2025, with services to be provided in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The council used a restricted procurement method, indicating a selective, competitive process to appoint suitable service providers.

This opportunity allows businesses specialising in event management and production services to work with a reputable public organisation such as Liverpool City Council. While small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can benefit significantly from such contracts, larger firms with established event management experience, like Richmond Event Management Ltd, which secured the contract worth £16,200, are well-positioned to win similar tenders. Businesses that can offer innovative and efficient production solutions will find substantial growth potential by engaging in such procurement processes.
