Technical Services

The Events Team, Culture and Leisure directorate on behalf of Portsmouth City Council ('the Council') is hoping to obtain a better understanding of the level of interest from suitably qualified suppliers to provide the supply of equipment and services at the below events: • Armed Forces Day • International Kite Festival • Fireworks Display • Remembrance Sunday Service and Parade The estimated annual value of the contract is £50,000 per annum based upon current specification, event frequencies and sites. The value of the contract may increase or decrease in the event of changes to specification, changes to frequencies, and removal or addition of events from the contract. The council cannot provide any guarantees of increases or decreases of the contract; however, any increases will be capped at 50% of the per annum contract value. The upper value of the contract is £75,000 per annum.
The initial contract term will be for 3 years with possibility of extending the term by a further 2 years in increments to be agreed, subject to the agreement and performance of both parties. The form of contract used will be the Council's standard terms for the supply of services. We are also using the opportunity to share with you a top-level service specification and ask you to comment on our requirements. Any information a supplier shares could be used to assist drafting our final specification in support of any tender activity. Suppliers should note that there is no obligation to take part in this exercise and that if they do not take part it will not preclude them from any subsequent related procurement process. Engaging suppliers will not receive preferential treatment in any subsequent quotation or tender process, and this is in no way an indication of the selection of any organisation or a guarantee of future work. Documentation can be obtained from Portsmouth City Council's e-tendering site at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/portsmouthcc/aspx/Home. Potential suppliers will need to register to access documentation. Assistance with registering can be found on the home-screen.
