## Summary

The University of Central Lancashire is currently planning a tender titled "Event Solutions" in the event services industry. Located in Preston, England, the procurement process is in the planning stage and is expected to engage suppliers by 25 October 2019. The university is looking to develop a contract for a range of event solutions, including stage, lighting, sound, video, and staffing for their numerous annual and ad-hoc events.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those based in the North West region of the UK, or those who can provide relevant subcontractors in a timely manner. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that offer event services will find this procurement process particularly pertinent, as the university aims to understand market offerings before finalising the invitation to tender (ITT).
