How to Read This Tender
- 1This tender is published on MultiQuote (a procurement portal) — you must register there to access the full documents and bid. The brief here is a summary only; the detailed requirements, specifications, pricing schedule and terms will be in the full tender pack you download.
- 2Look out for: whether this is a one-off contract or a framework agreement (a list of approved suppliers the council calls on as needed). The description suggests it's ongoing, so understand how orders and pricing will work.
- 3Check the evaluation criteria carefully — councils often score technical quality, price, and 'social value' (local hiring, sustainability, community benefit). Weight your bid accordingly.
- 4Pay attention to insurance and liability requirements — event staging carries risk, so expect demands for public liability insurance, health & safety credentials, and possibly references from previous events.
- 5Note the contact point is MultiQuote support, not the council directly — all questions must go through the portal to ensure fair treatment of all bidders.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're smaller, consider partnering with a larger event management company as a subcontractor — councils often prefer established suppliers but value local subcontracting. Make this clear in your bid.
- Prepare case studies and references from previous events (even smaller council events or private sector equivalents) showing you've delivered safely and professionally. Councils are risk-averse and want proof.
- Highlight any social value — e.g., do you employ local staff, train apprentices, use sustainable materials? Councils often award points for this, especially for Northern Ireland-based suppliers supporting local communities.
