## Summary

The Forestry Commission England is currently seeking tenders for the hire of stages and associated equipment for the Forest Live Music events taking place in various rural outdoor locations across England. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with contracts valued at £600,000 and an open procurement method being employed. The tender period ended on 23rd October 2015, and the contract is set to last from 1st December 2015 until 31st August 2018, covering the provision of two identical stages with necessary equipment for events.

This contract presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in event services, particularly those capable of providing staging solutions and associated infrastructure. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly suited to compete for this tender. Companies with experience in managing logistics for outdoor events in challenging environments will find this opportunity aligns well with their capabilities, allowing them to grow through participation in these public events.

## Notice

The Forestry Commission is inviting tenders for a contract for the hire of stages and associated equipment at Forest Live Music events held at forests in England. Some events operate on the same dates at two different locations. Therefore the contract will include two identical stages plus two identical sets of guitar & monitor bays & front of house, scrim towers and PA flying masts. All our concerts are held in rural outdoor locations, in clearings in the forest. All infrastructure and power is temporarily brought in to the venues for the events.
