It was initiated as a tender with the submission deadline concluded on 22nd August 2025.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for organisations specializing in large-scale event management, particularly those adept in provision of comprehensive event services. Businesses suitable for this opportunity are likely those with experience in handling similar community events, capable of meeting health and safety, and technical requirements in event staging and logistics.
