Summary of the contracting process

The Torbay Council is seeking a Commercial Partner for the Torbay Airshow, a notable event in the recreational, cultural, and sporting services sector. This opportunity is part of an open procurement process launched on 4th September 2017, aiming to establish an annual air show set for the first weekend of June. The tender period concluded on 2nd October 2017, and the awarded contract, valued at £5,000,000, is set to run from 13th November 2017 until 11th November 2022. The event aims to significantly boost local attendance and the economy, building upon the 150,000 spectators recorded in the last event in June 2017.

It is planned for the Torbay Airshow to become an annual event taking place over the first weekend of June. The Authority is seeking an experienced event management company with a proven track record of delivering large-scale events, preferably air shows, with an event audience in excess of 100,000 people. The last Torbay Airshow in June 2017 attracted some 150,000 spectators to the event and the aim is to grow attendance by at least 15% each year to the benefit of the local economy.
