Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Colchester Borough Council is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Themed Markets in Colchester." This initiative aims to explore the potential for themed markets in Colchester, which had previously relocated the main market to the High Street.

The procurement falls under the retail trade services industry, specifically classified under CPV code 55900000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in market management, themed event organisation, and retail services. Firms that can demonstrate expertise in diverse market operations, risk management, and market analysis would be well-positioned to compete. As this is an exploratory project that may lead to a full procurement process, interested businesses are encouraged to engage with the council to discuss potential collaborations and insights into the needs of the community for additional market offerings.
