## Summary

This public procurement process, managed by Sunderland City Council, pertains to the Women's Rugby World Cup fireworks display. The contract, awarded to Reaction Fireworks Limited, involves creating a visually impressive and environmentally conscious fireworks show in Sunderland on 22nd August 2025. The fireworks display will take place in the North East region of the United Kingdom and will include features such as a "waterfall effect" from the pedestrian bridge over the Riverside Sunderland. The process concluded at the award stage, with the contract valued at £30,000. The procurement method utilised was a restricted procedure below the threshold.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as those focusing on sustainable practices, could benefit from such contracts. By engaging in similar procurement opportunities, businesses can enhance their portfolios, gain visibility, and build strong relationships with local councils for future projects.

## Notice

CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE Provide a visually spectacular and safe fireworks display of minimum 15 minutes in length on the 22nd August 2025 around 9pm (exact time to be agreed). Ensuring the display is suitably themed. Display/s are to be centred around Riverside Sunderland including the pedestrian bridge, the successful supplier will work with the Council to agree location/s that are deemed to be the most effective. The supplier must incorporate into their proposed design a "waterfall effect" utilising gerbs (fountains) from the pedestrian bridge to create a pyrotechnic wall of "falling stars". All waste from the fireworks must be collected, removed, and disposed from the firework fall out zone, and the use of biodegradable or low-emission fireworks would be preferable. Plan for post-event cleanup and waste management. Measures to minimize noise pollution and wildlife disturbance.
