Thamesmead is an area of south-east London, England, straddling the border between the Royal Borough of Greenwich and the London Borough of Bexley. The appointed organisation will create a small scale but dynamic festival that will encourage the exploration of Thamesmead's natural spaces through a series of artistic and atmospheric light installations starting on the north-side of Southmere Lake and leading into Crossway Park and the former Golf Course, highlighting key features in each space. The light festival is part of Thamesmead's ongoing cultural programme, which aims to bring exceptional culture to everyday experiences and raise the profile of Thamesmead. The light festival is also part of our Making Space for Nature Programme which aims to connect people in Thamesmead with nature, wildlife and the landscape. The festival can take place on any weekend date in February or March 2023, and can be on one date or spread over several days. It should focus on bringing people together and creating new audiences to experience these landscapes together. Proposed details should be included in your Invitation to Quote (ITQ) submission. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e4340f02-e40b-4049-b40f-c1ba460c592c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Sep 2022 | | Submission deadline | 19 Oct 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2022 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | PEABODY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 7JB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Southwark | | Electoral ward | St George's | | Westminster constituency | Bermondsey and Old Southwark | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79953000 - Festival organisation services ## Release History - 27 Sep 2022 at 08:25 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e4340f02-e40b-4049-b40f-c1ba460c592c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e4340f02-e40b-4049-b40f-c1ba460c592c 27th September 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Thamesmead:-Light-Festival-2023/KUJ76U754W Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
