## Summary

The District Council of Sevenoaks is seeking opportunities for the operation and management of Swanley Market, which occurs every Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., except for Christmas and public holidays. The procurement is currently in the award stage, following an open tender procedure. The contract, valued at £1,280,000, commenced on 1 April 2019 and extends until 31 March 2023. The market operates in the South East region of England, and potential changes to the stall layout may occur during the contract period.

This tender presents a robust opportunity for businesses specializing in market operations and management. Companies that can effectively handle both traditional market setups and adapted layouts, as well as those with experience in providing services at public venues, would be particularly well-suited to participate. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, given the suitability standard indicating openness to smaller suppliers and the potential for ongoing engagement within the community of Swanley.
