## Summary

The Newcastle City Council is currently in the planning stage for the "Newcastle Christmas Market - Pre Tender Market Engagement". This initiative, focused on the hotel, restaurant, and retail trade services industry, is set to take place in Newcastle upon Tyne. Key engagement activities are scheduled for the 12th and 14th of November 2018, with a deadline for interested parties to register by the 12th of November at 23:59.

Companies that can enhance the experience of Christmas Markets through innovative retail solutions or event management are encouraged to participate, which could lead to fruitful partnerships and contracts in the thriving tourism sector of the North East region.
