## Summary

The Christmas Parade Project 2026, led by Middlesbrough Council, is part of the town's festive events. It involves organising workshops for community engagement and participation in creating and performing the parade. Classified under recreational, cultural, and community services, the project targets residents and visitors in the Middlesbrough area (UKC12). Although the procurement stage has been completed, with a direct procurement method used due to it being below the threshold, the contract was awarded to STELLAR CREATES CIC on 15th July 2026. The contract spans from 30th July 2026 to 13th December 2026, with a value of £38,333.33.

This project offers significant business opportunities for companies with expertise in community engagement and event planning. Businesses capable of providing cultural and recreational services stand to benefit from similar tenders, fostering growth through community-based projects. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) focused on cultural initiatives and community involvement are particularly well-suited to such contracts, enabling them to expand their portfolio by working with local councils like Middlesbrough Council for public events and services.

## Notice

As part of Middlesbrough's Christmas events programme, there is a desire to build and grow the Christmas Parade offer for residents and visitors. Workshops will take place in neighbourhoods, engaging with schools and communities. There will be opportunities to create and take part in the parade. These workshops will begin to be established in late summer so activity can begin following the summer holidays.
