The tender's application deadline is set for 30 May 2022. The procurement method for this opportunity is selective, following a restricted procedure, classified under business services related to law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, and festival organisation services. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in festival organisation and related services to expand their operations. Companies that offer consultancy, training, grant funding, and industry-specific support are particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. The initiative not only aims to enhance the festival sector but also creates potential partnerships for those looking to enter or broaden their reach within the creative and visitor economies in the region. ## Notice Tees Valley Combined Authority recognises the benefits that festivals bring to the region - socially, economically and reputationally. Festivals and events play a vital role in bringing communities together, transforming experience and perceptions of place and attracting visitors to the region. There is already a thriving festival ecology across the Tees Valley and to support the growth of the indigenous festivals ecology, TVCA has launched a Festivals Scale Up Programme (FSUP), the first initiative of the new Growth Programme for the Creative and Visitor Economies. The FSUP is a strategic and ambitious intervention to support the growth and sustainability of the region's most exciting indigenous festivals. The Festivals Scale Up Programme will support a portfolio of festival businesses/organisations (8-10) over a four-year period (2022/23 - 2025/26). Support will include a mix of grant funding, training, specialist information, advice and guidance, access to industry or professional services support, mentoring, and access to a peer-to-peer network. TVCA wishes to secure the services of specialist sector organisation/business who can work with the festival businesses and organisations in the Festival Scale Up Programme across the four-year programme to support them to scale up, commercialise and plan for a sustainable future. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c9468917-d744-4653-af93-2eacd330fa7f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 May 2022 | | Submission deadline | 30 May 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 12 Jun 2022 - 1 May 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTH TEES SITE COMPANY | | Locality | STOCKTON ON TEES | | Post town | Cleveland | | Postcode | TS17 6QY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC3 Tees Valley | | ITL 3 | TLC31 Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees | | Local authority | Stockton-on-Tees | | Electoral ward | Mandale & Victoria | | Westminster constituency | Middlesbrough and Thornaby East | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 79953000 - Festival organisation services ## Release History - 17 May 2022 at 07:25 - TenderCancellation - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c9468917-d744-4653-af93-2eacd330fa7f - 16 May 2022 at 10:41 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2a8aaf01-3358-44a3-a8f0-358c7e0d3e3f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c9468917-d744-4653-af93-2eacd330fa7f 17th May 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2a8aaf01-3358-44a3-a8f0-358c7e0d3e3f 16th May 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.southteesdc.com/about-us/south-tees-site-company-ltd/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
