Details

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is inviting Expressions of Interest and proposals from suitably qualified and experienced festival promoters and event organisers to develop and deliver future editions of a new major music festival at Myrtle Park, Bradford under concession contract arrangements. The Council is seeking an ambitious, commercially capable and collaborative promoter with the vision, creativity and experience to shape the future of one of Yorkshire’s most established outdoor music festivals. This is more than an opportunity to deliver an event, it is an opportunity to work collaboratively with the Council to create a nationally recognised festival that delivers lasting cultural, economic and community benefit for the Bradford District.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
