The procurement falls under the industry category of event services (CPV 79952000) and has a budget of £5,000. The contract period is scheduled to begin on 1st July 2025 and end on 30th June 2026, with interested parties being able to express their interest until 1st November 2024. This process is being conducted through an open procedure below the threshold, focusing on delivering a family-friendly, pet-centric event featuring competitions, specialist demonstrations, and more. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in event planning, pet care products, and services, as well as those with expertise in managing public events. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly encouraged to apply, making it a great chance for small to medium-sized enterprises to engage with the local community and increase their visibility. Collaborating with Lichfield District Council could lead to a profitable venture, given the Council's openness to negotiating a profit-share agreement. Businesses that can provide infrastructure and deliver engaging, accessible events will find this tender particularly beneficial for growth and community engagement. ## Notice Background Lichfield District is located in south-east Staffordshire and abuts the West Midlands conurbation. The District has two main settlements, the cathedral City of Lichfield and the town of Burntwood, as well as many villages set within a varied and attractive rural area. The City of Lichfield is an important historic centre, with a major conservation area based around the Cathedral, a medieval street pattern and historic city centre buildings. The Cathedral spires (the 'ladies of the vale'), are visible from many points in the wider rural landscape. Lichfield District is an attractive location for people to live. It has been a significant destination for migrants from the West Midlands conurbation and other nearby towns. Lichfield is well-placed for the new trend of its experience-led offer to attract visitors to the city. The city has a number of leisure and cultural venues and an extensive festival, concerts and events offer to cater for its tourism economy. Beacon Park is set in more than 70 acres of beautiful gardens and open space within easy reach of the city centre. Visitors use the park for a leisurely walk and a range of activities including crazy golf, the children's play area, tennis, basketball, bowls, play disk, foot golf and more. Beacon Park is also steeped in history and heritage, and information boards around the site provide a glimpse into the area's rich historical past. Event Concept Event Concept We wish to develop an event that brings together dog lovers into Beacon Park and district over a weekend in May or September with activities to include: * Competitions * Demonstrations from specialists in pet care / training * Stalls relating to pets and goods * Doggy Picnic * Dog first aid * Celebrity vet talks The event would need to be accessible to all and low cost to offer an attraction for all. We would want to engage with local businesses where possible whilst still creating an event that has kudos to attract visitors from outside of the district whilst offering a fun and exciting day out for residents. This is not a definitive brief and we are looking for a partner to help develop the concept and offering. Financials We are looking for the operator to provide the infrastructure and delivery of the concept and would look to negotiate a profit share agreement.
