This open procurement process aims to form a collaborative partnership with a promoter to deliver a high-quality music event on Plymouth Hoe, utilising a budget of £6,900,000. The tender submission deadline is set for 12 noon on 9th July 2018, and the contract will span from 1st October 2018 to 30th September 2019. The event is part of the celebrations for the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower's voyage to the United States and falls under the recreational, cultural, and sporting services category. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in event management, festival organisation, and artistic promotion. Ideally suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), applicants will be responsible for bringing in talent, ticket sales, and marketing the event. The collaborative nature of this project offers room for innovative promotional strategies and expansion of brand visibility, particularly for businesses keen on enhancing their reputation within the cultural sector. ## Notice The Council is looking to form a collaborative 3 year relationship with a promoter to deliver a high quality music event on Plymouth Hoe starting in 2019. Our vision is to create a significant, high profile ticketed music event or series of events with UK and international artists that will create national and international exposure. We are keen to see an evolution and building of a brand starting with the first event in 2019 and establishing itself by 2020. In 2020 Plymouth will celebrate the 400 year sailing of the Mayflower to the United States. We see that a music event will be a key part of those global celebrations. The Council will invest in and provide the operational delivery (staff), production and site infrastructure to ensure high quality, safe delivery of the event(s). The promoter will invest in and provide the talent, ticketing and marketing of the event.
