This tender, classified under project-management services, is located in the Forest area of England. The contract, valued at approximately £45,000, aims to develop and implement ten community-focused events over a period of 4.25 years, starting from December 1, 2017, to March 31, 2022. Interested suppliers must express their interest by 10am on November 16, 2017, to the contact person, Sue Middleton, to ensure they receive any relevant updates regarding the tender. This opportunity presents significant prospects for businesses specialising in community engagement, event management, and local heritage projects. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in working with diverse communities and facilitating creative events will be well-positioned to compete. Furthermore, businesses with experience in cultural programming and project management will find this tender particularly relevant, as the contract requires the selection of ten varied communities within the Forest, thus fostering local histories and aspirations through collaborative celebrations. ## Notice The Forestry Commission will be awarding a contract for the development and implementation of a series of ten community focused events which will create celebrations based on their own histories and aspirations, exploring a range of creative skills so as to share, exchange and develop the stories that are specific to each of the chosen communities in the Forest. Our intention is to award this contract for a period of 4.25 years, from Dec 2017- March 2022. The appointed contractor will need to identify ten communities in the Forest and work with them to draw out the key elements that represent and are important to that particular community such that these can be celebrated in appropriate ways using whatever means necessary. The definition of 'community celebration' in this project does not have to be about ten villages as one element could celebrate the community of Freeminers, for example (although it is anticipated that at least 5 of the communities will be villages). The rationale for selecting and specifying which communities will be used in the project forms part of this tender. Overall the range of communities selected should encapsulate what it means to be a Forester (and that term can itself be subject to many interpretations) so it is likely that this project will need to work with other project leaders within the Foresters' Forest programme. Please express your interest in this tender to Sue Middleton (sue.middleton@forestry.gsi.gov.uk) by email by 10am Thursday 16th Nov 2017 to allow us to notify you of any questions and answers we may receive. Additional information: Suppliers must express their interest in this tender by the 16th Nov 2017 and download the attached tender documents by the same date. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/45b5f5e6-e2bc-4586-83b0-ad28be47f5fb | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Oct 2017 | | Submission deadline | 16 Nov 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2017 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £45,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FORESTRY COMMISSION | | Locality | COLEFORD | | Post town | Gloucester | | Postcode | GL16 8BA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK73 Gloucestershire CC | | Local authority | Forest of Dean | | Electoral ward | Coleford | | Westminster constituency | Forest of Dean | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79421000 - Project-management services other than for construction work ## Release History - 31 Oct 2017 at 08:23 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/45b5f5e6-e2bc-4586-83b0-ad28be47f5fb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/45b5f5e6-e2bc-4586-83b0-ad28be47f5fb 31st October 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/cdfc9a03-0b35-4cd0-9373-129945b28a31 Appendix 1 - Outcomes - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2c0192ae-02dd-40f9-9402-687d92f82d05 Appendix 2 - Project List - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ca647509-1431-4b28-a510-e5d86efc1030 ITT Document ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
