## Summary

Cheshire West and Chester Council is seeking an organisation to plan, programme and deliver three live music events at the Flea Market in Ellesmere Port. The work is cultural event organisation: suppliers will be responsible for shaping the programme and delivering the events, rather than providing a general music service. The events are intended to take place at the Flea Market, in Ellesmere Port. This is a council requirement for a series of events, so it is relevant to event organisers with the ability to develop a programme and deliver live music in a public market setting. The procurement is for services, with one lot covering the requirement.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 13 November 2026 at 17:00, and bids by 23 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 15 December 2026 to 31 December 2027. The estimated value is £30,000 excluding VAT (£36,000 including VAT). Quality accounts for 100% of the evaluation. The requirement is a single lot; the published suitability indicators say it is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Bids could be submitted electronically through The Chest. The procurement was issued under the Procurement Act 2023.

This opportunity suits an experienced event organisation able to plan, programme and deliver a series of three live music events in Ellesmere Port. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate relevant experience in organising cultural events and the practical capacity to manage a programme of multiple events at a public market venue. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises means the scale is accessible to smaller and socially focused providers as well as larger event companies. Quality is the sole stated evaluation basis, so a strong offer should explain how the supplier will organise and deliver the events effectively. No specific accreditation or qualification is described.
