This contract, classified under sports-event organisation services, is in the tender stage and is set to conclude on 27th March 2020. The event will take place between 20th September and 11th October 2020, and the successful Service Provider will hold the contract for three years, with options to extend for an additional two years. Interested parties must ensure they are licensed by UK Athletics and comply with their guidelines. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in event management, particularly those experienced in organising sporting events. Companies with expertise in logistics, participant management, and compliance with athletic regulations would be best positioned to succeed. Furthermore, the absence of funding from the Council means that businesses must be prepared to manage their operational costs effectively. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as this project is designed to support their involvement in the public sector. ## Notice The Slough Borough Council (The Authority) Half Marathon was organised and delivered by the council in October 2018. Due to the pressures of organising and delivering the event, it was decided that the most appropriate and efficient way to deliver this event in the future would be to outsource the event to a professional organiser (the Service Provider). The contract will be for 3 years with an option to extend for two further periods of 1 year each. The event will take place on a Sunday morning between the 20th September to 11th October 2020 and equivalent periods in any subsequent year. The Event must cater for at least 1000 participants. The Service Provider must ensure that they are United Kingdom Athletics (UKA) Licensed and will comply with UKA Guidelines throughout the event as defined at https://www.runbritain.com/shared/get-file.ashx?itemtype=document&id=1930 The Service Provider is solely responsible for its costs in operating the event and the Council will not provide any funding or subsidy to the Service Provider beyond the provision of its staff for the performance of the Council's duties in relation to the planning or running of the event.
