## Summary

The procurement process, led by Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council, focuses on the 'Event Staging Hire 2025' contract for a live music festival in Bootle, located in the UK region. This contract falls within the industry category of stage construction works and other community, social, and personal services. The process has reached the award stage, with Acorn Construction (Yorkshire) Ltd being selected as the supplier. The services are scheduled from 7th to 10th August 2025. This procurement was executed under a limited competition method due to its below-threshold nature, highlighting the specialised nature of the requirement.

This tender presents a robust opportunity for businesses specialising in event staging and construction services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like Acorn Construction, involved in stage construction and related community services are well-suited to partake in similar future procurement processes. The provision of staging for live music festivals can act as a significant business growth catalyst by increasing visibility and establishing credibility in the event management sector. Businesses with expertise in handling large-scale events and providing quality service within tight schedules and defined parameters are especially positioned to benefit from such opportunities.
