Summary of the contracting process

The West Midlands Growth Company Limited is currently engaged in the procurement process for "Staff Mobile Visitor Pop Ups", aimed at enhancing visitor information services during the Commonwealth Games. This contract falls under the services category, specifically event services, and the procurement method is classified as limited, having progressed without prior publication of a call for competition due to a lack of bids in the initial tender phase. The procurement is located in Birmingham, UK, and the contract value is approximately £348,808. The contract was signed on 8th December 2021, and although the initial tender period closed on 16th August 2021, the associated services will be in operation until 31st March 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in event services, tourism, and hospitality, as it requires staffing solutions for mobile visitor information points. Companies with expertise in managing visitor experiences, cultural events, or information services could benefit greatly by participating in subsequent tenders or related service contracts. Furthermore, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to consider this opportunity as it previously attracted competitive bids from SMEs and aligns well with their operational capabilities.
