## Summary

Newcastle City Council intends to appoint one or more event delivery companies to support the UEFA Festival and Fan Service Operations in Newcastle for UEFA EURO 2028. These form part of the tournament’s Host City programme, which Newcastle is responsible for delivering. The work covers event planning and management, festival and fan-service operations, entertainment and sporting activity. The delivery location is Newcastle, and the intended suppliers may be companies working in event delivery, exhibitions and festivals, sports or entertainment services. The council is seeking early market visibility and supplier indications of interest as it prepares the procurement. This is a city-host programme linked to a major international football tournament, rather than a general event-management service.

The process is at the planning stage: the council has set out its intention to procure and is conducting preliminary market engagement, not inviting tenders. The council expects to use a competitive procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. The planned contract period runs from 4 January 2027 to 31 July 2028. Its estimated value is £550,000 excluding VAT, or £660,000 including VAT. The procurement is currently arranged as one lot. The council expects to complete its market consultation by 9 November 2026; this is an engagement date, not a bid deadline. The published purpose of the consultation is to give suppliers early visibility of the potential requirement and let them indicate possible interest.

This work is suited to event delivery businesses able to plan and operate a public-facing festival and fan services within a host city’s tournament programme. Relevant strengths include managing complex event operations, coordinating entertainment and sporting activity, and delivering services for large audiences in a high-profile international tournament setting. The council says the requirement may be awarded to one company or several, and the single-lot structure does not itself divide the work into separate packages. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable participants, so specialist suppliers and collaborative teams may be relevant as the requirement develops. Suppliers can use the market engagement stage to indicate interest and prepare for the later procurement.
