The procurement process, currently in the tender stage, targets the provision of event services, specifically sports-event organisation. The tender was published on 16th August 2019, with submissions due by 30th September 2019. The contracting authority has allocated a budget of up to £100,000 over three years to design and deliver this high-profile event, which aims to attract more visitors to the region using the existing coastal infrastructure. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the event management and sports organisation sectors. Companies with experience in organising adventure events and those that can leverage local attractions will be well-suited to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as the Council is keen on fostering local engagement and maximising economic benefits for the Copeland area. ## Notice Copeland Borough Council is seeking to secure the services of an experienced challenge event organizer to design and deliver an inspiring, high profile adventure/ challenge event in Copeland (between September 2020 and March 2021), which maximises the use of an identified challenge route and the existing coastal infrastructure connections. The overall objective is to create an event, which has the capacity to become an established iconic annual event, which is closely associated with the Western Lake District Coast and the Copeland Borough. It is also envisaged that the event will attract a level of market interest in the area, which has a positive economic impact on the region through increased visitor numbers and increased dwell time. The event should have the potential to become a registered Strava/Run England 3-2-1 route which people can compete all year round outside of the organised annual events and offers graded options to accommodate a range of abilities. The Council has a maximum budget over three years of PS100,000 to subsidise the design and delivery of the event. Further details are provided in the Invitation to Tender documents which will be made available upon registering an interest in this opportunity via The Chest Procurement Portal. All correspondence/clarifications must be made via The Chest (messages area).
