OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea has awarded the contract for the annual Swansea Pantomime to IMAGINE THEATRE LIMITED, which will be held at the Swansea Grand Theatre between 2027 and 2029. The procurement process was conducted using an open procedure, with a focus on services within the general public services industry category. The process is now in the award stage, with the contract valued at GBP 4,500,000, and it was signed on the 29th of July, 2025. The theatre is located at the Civic Centre in Swansea, Wales, which provides a key cultural and entertainment venue with a seating capacity of 1,020. The opportunity was facilitated by the City & County of Swansea as the buying organisation, and the contracting was subject to the regulations of the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA).

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for SMEs, particularly those specialising in theatrical productions, event management, and cultural entertainment services. The procurement's focus on quality and price demonstrates the emphasis on delivering high-calibre performances, with the potential for a contract continuation up to 2029. Businesses capable of managing large-scale theatrical events, with competitive pricing strategies and the ability to provide quality cultural experiences, would be well-positioned to engage in similar procurement opportunities. The open procurement method also suggests robust competition and transparency, welcoming participation from various qualified suppliers.
