UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Festival Technical Production" was managed by Surrey Heath Borough Council, located in Camberley, UK. It falls under the industry category of event services, specifically focusing on festival organisation services. The procurement utilised an open competition method, and the process reached completion as the festival plans faced cancellations. The cancellation was due to higher-than-expected costs and conflicting roadworks that posed a health and safety risk. The tender was initially active with a procurement value projected at £24,000 gross but was concluded with a cancellation notice published on 9th May 2025.

Though the original opportunity has been cancelled, the previous tender highlighted a significant contract for businesses specialising in technical production for events, offering services such as stage, lighting, and sound setup. Event service providers, especially those with a strong track record in festival organisation, would have found this opportunity fitting to expand their business portfolio. While the tender is no longer available, it indicates potential future opportunities for similar events needing technical expertise and creativity, encouraging relevant businesses to monitor Surrey Heath Borough Council's future procurement activities for upcoming contracts.
