## Summary

The Wirral Borough Council is planning a procurement process for an annual pantomime production, specifically for the upcoming title "Aladdin". This contract, which falls under the recreational, cultural, and sporting services category, has a total budget of £1,500,000 and is aimed at enhancing family-oriented performances throughout Merseyside and the North West. The contract period spans from 1 May 2018 to 30 April 2021, with a procurement notice published on 30 May 2018. The project seeks a collaboration with a proficient production company to create high-quality performances aimed at family audiences, particularly through school engagements.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the theatre and performing arts sector, particularly those that specialise in producing pantomimes and family entertainment. Companies that are skilled in production design, stage management, and community engagement will find this a suitable venture, especially those with experience in working with local councils. As the production is expected to maintain a strong focus on quality and value for money, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can offer innovative and budget-friendly solutions may have a competitive advantage in this tender.

## Notice
