## Summary

Torbay Council is seeking to engage an experienced sales and marketing company to oversee the sponsorship and marketing of an Air Show in Torbay, positioned within the marketing management consultancy services industry. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, following the completed tender that was due on 25th July 2015. The event is scheduled to take place over a weekend in June 2016, with the intention of attracting at least 150,000 visitors. The authority has a target of raising £150,000 to secure a sustainable two-day event that could significantly boost the local economy by generating at least £5 million in new business and spending. The contract period is set from 10th August 2015 to 9th August 2016.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for marketing and event management firms, particularly those with experience in handling large-scale public events. Companies specialising in marketing management, event services, and promotional strategies would be well-suited to compete, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate a successful track record in similar projects. Participating in this contract could not only contribute to the local economy but also enhance the visibility and reputation of the successful bidder in the competitive landscape of public event organisation.

## Notice

THE PROCUREMENT DOCUMENTS BELOW ARE READ ONLY. DO NOT USE TO COMPLETE AND SUBMIT TENDER. PLEASE REGISTER AN INTEREST TO ACCESS PROCUREMENT DOCUMENTS TO COMPLETE AND SUBMIT. ONLY APPLICANTS WHO HAVE REGISTERED AN INTEREST WILL RECEIVE UPDATE NOTIFICATIONS. The Authority is seeking an experienced sales and marketing company with a proven track record and understanding of air show type events. The sales and marketing company will be required to raise PS150,000 to deliver a minimum two (2) day Air Show Event in Torbay over a weekend in June 2016. The Authority has secured a start up fund of PS60,000 from the Coastal Communities Fund. This funding must bring in at least five million pounds (PS5,000,000) in new business and spending to the economy of Torbay through the event. The event must be sustainable year after year. The event is expected to be supported by at least 150,000 visitors across the two days of the event and, if similar to Weston-Super-Mare, Bournemouth, Dawlish and Eastbourne Air Shows, attendance could be much higher. The Air Show is expected to be the largest event delivered in Torbay in terms of visitor numbers in recent years. A Tender will be issued shortly for the provision of an air show consultant to provide aircraft over the weekend with a timetable.
