Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council is conducting a public procurement process titled "The Provision of a Yurt at Lotherton Hall Christmas Experience", situated in Leeds, United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically event services and cultural event organisation services. It aims to enhance the Christmas Experience at Lotherton Hall by introducing a yurt within the elf village, where festive food and drinks will be sold. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with the enquiry period ending on 22nd August 2025, and submissions closing on 29th August 2025. The contract, with a gross value of £9,600, is open to competition below the threshold and is set to commence on 14th November 2025, ending on 12th January 2026.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for local SMEs, particularly those specialising in event services or cultural event organisation, to expand their business by collaborating with a high-profile public authority like Leeds City Council. The procurement method being open and below the threshold allows smaller enterprises to participate effectively. Successful collaboration on this project could lead to potential extensions, as the Council reserves the right to award similar contracts for Christmas experiences in subsequent years (2026, 2027, and 2028). As such, this tender is particularly well-suited for businesses experienced in providing temporary structures for events, with a focus on delivering engaging customer experiences during festive seasons.
