Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is undertaking a planning phase for a tender titled "Soft Market Testing for Winter Light Theme Event at Beacon Hill Country Park". This initiative falls under the classification of electrical machinery and lighting, and aims to gather insights from suppliers about their capabilities to manage and produce a winter lights event, similar to those at Kew Gardens and Belton House. Interested businesses are encouraged to respond by 1st September 2021, as this date marks the expected publication of future contract notices. However, this exercise is not a formal call for competition and does not guarantee an invitation to tender.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for event management and lighting companies, as well as suppliers of electrical machinery, to engage with Leicestershire County Council and contribute to this innovative public event. Businesses that specialise in outdoor lighting installations, event planning, and community engagement are particularly well-suited to consider competing. By participating in this soft market testing, suppliers can showcase their expertise and insights, potentially leading to future contracts that benefit both the council and the community it serves.

Notice Title

Soft Market Testing for Winter Light Theme Event at Beacon Hill Country Park

Notice Description

We are interested in working with suppliers who could produce and manage a winter lights event at Beacon Hill Country Park, akin to those at Kew Gardens, Belton House and the National Memorial Arboretum. We are also keen to ensure that if such an event is organised and a tender process carried out in the future we have supplier engagement to ensure it is mutually beneficial and rewarding to both parties and the citizens of not only Leicestershire but the surrounding areas. This is an information gathering exercise and a response does not guarantee an invitation to tender for any services which the Council may advertise, nor that the Council will procure any such services or accept any proposals offered. Conversely, not participating in the market testing exercise will not exclude any party from any future involvement in the procurement process. The purpose of market testing is to understand what suppliers are providing with their solutions, their experience of delivering similar solutions, a way for the Council to clarify and understand solutions and to help draw up requirements that can be fulfilled by the market place should a tender be issued at a later stage.
