This open tender, with a total estimated value of £400,000, is centred in Aberdeen, UKM50. The procurement process is currently active, having started on 21st January 2022, with a deadline for submissions set for 21st February 2022 at 12:00 PM. The council's requirements include services for public address systems, staging, lighting, and audio-visual needs for various events, potentially attracting audiences ranging from 300 to over 15,000 attendees.
