## Summary

The Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council is seeking a production company for the "Christmas Pantomime" project, classified under dance and performance entertainment services. The contract, valued at £360,000, is set to run from 18 April 2020 to 5 January 2024. This procurement process employed an open tendering method, with the tender period closing on 22 November 2019. The project is located in Blackburn, North West England, and is currently in the award stage, having formally awarded the contract on 21 February 2020.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the entertainment and performance industry, particularly those with experience in producing theatrical events. Companies that specialise in producing large-scale performances or pantomimes would be particularly well-suited to compete. With a four-year commitment from the council, successful firms could establish a significant foothold in the local market and potentially expand their operations based on the ongoing nature of this annual event.
