## Summary

The Torquay Christmas Event, organised by Torbay Council, aims to produce a new signature event with the potential to become cost neutral following its inaugural year. This tender falls under the artistic and literary services category and is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract set to commence on 26th September 2016 and running until 25th September 2019. The total value of the contract is £30,000, and the procurement was carried out through an open procedure, with the tender period having closed on 12th September 2016.

This opportunity presents a significant prospect for businesses specialised in event production, arts facilitation, and entertainment services. Firms that focus on creative and recreational services, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), would find themselves well-suited to compete for this contract. Successful entities will benefit from the potential for ongoing collaboration with Torbay Council, and the exposure from being involved in signature events like the Christmas event, alongside the new Torbay Air Show and music festivals.

## Notice

Torbay Council has seed funding from Coastal Communities Fund to create a series of new signature events which have the capacity to become cost neutral after year one.
