## Summary

Herefordshire Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Markets, Fairs & Street Trading pre-market engagement - Hereford May Fair contracts". This initiative, classed under the industry category of articles for funfair, table or parlour games, aims to engage potential providers interested in delivering the May Fair in Hereford. The engagement end date is set for 2nd August 2018, with all relevant documentation available on the Supplying the Southwest Portal. The council's offices are located at Plough Lane, Hereford, HR4 0LE, United Kingdom.

This pre-market engagement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in event management, fairground supplies, and entertainment services, allowing them to showcase their capabilities. Companies that specialise in organising public events or providing funfair equipment would be particularly well-suited to express their interest, as this process is designed to gather information on available services and the level of market interest before moving to any formal tendering stage.
