Soft Market Testing for Winter Light Theme Event at Beacon Hill Country Park

We are interested in working with suppliers who could produce and manage a winter lights event at Beacon Hill Country Park, akin to those at Kew Gardens, Belton House and the National Memorial Arboretum.

We are also keen to ensure that if such an event is organised and a tender process carried out in the future we have supplier engagement to ensure it is mutually beneficial and rewarding to both parties and the citizens of not only Leicestershire but the surrounding areas.

This is an information gathering exercise and a response does not guarantee an invitation to tender for any services which the Council may advertise, nor that the Council will procure any such services or accept any proposals offered. Conversely, not participating in the market testing exercise will not exclude any party from any future involvement in the procurement process.

The purpose of market testing is to understand what suppliers are providing with their solutions, their experience of delivering similar solutions, a way for the Council to clarify and understand solutions and to help draw up requirements that can be fulfilled by the market place should a tender be issued at a later stage.
