## Summary

The procurement process involves the North East Lincolnshire Council, acting on behalf of Grimsby Creates, to appoint a Festival Director for the inaugural 'Grimsby Festival of the Sea 2021'. This contract, valued at £9,900, is part of a broader budget of approximately £40,000 available for the festival, which falls under the recreational, cultural, and sporting services industry category. The procurement method used is an open procedure, with the tender period having ended on 7th December 2020, while the contract period runs from 1st January to 31st July 2021, in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on cultural events, festival management, and community engagement. Companies with experience in the arts and cultural sector, especially those skilled in fundraising and event coordination, would be well-suited to compete. The role of Festival Director requires not only the management of the festival but also the ability to secure sustainable funding, making this an excellent prospect for businesses looking to expand their service offerings in the cultural development space.

## Notice

North East Lincolnshire Council (the Authority) on behalf of Grimsby Creates, the Cultural Development Fund programme for Grimsby, wishes to commission a Festival Director to lead the development and delivery of the inaugural 'Grimsby Festival of the Sea 2021'. A maximum budget of PS10,000 excluding VAT, is being offered for the role of Festival Director, financed by the Cultural Development Fund (CDF). There are also funds available for the delivery of the inaugural Festival which will be a starting budget of approximately PS40,000, but as we would like to ensure the sustainability of the Festival for future years, the securing of additional revenue income streams, or other funding, is a critical requirement of the Festival Director's role.
