    "description": "INVITATION TO TENDER DETAILS - THE BIG BAHOOEY FESTIVAL \nWe are running a tender process with the intention of awarding a contract for the provision of a Festival Producer and are inviting suitably experienced / qualified organisations to tender. \nEvent Date: Late May Bank holiday – 2026, 2027, 2028 and possible extension for 2029. \nHRP’s requirements: Please refer to the Specification of Requirements for full details. \n‘The Big Bahooey’ will be staged at Hampton Court Palace during the late May Bank Holiday weekend. The event is a fun, family, arts-based festival, responding to the palace’s history as a pleasure palace and place for entertaining. The first Big Bahooey took place in May 2025 and we are looking to build on this success. We had a total of 21,000 visitors across three days and expect to increase this figure substantially going forward. \nAs a result HRP are looking for a festival producer that prides themselves on being able to create and deliver large scale shows and diverse programmes that will attract social families; including fun circle shows, larger than life roving acts, colourful parades, interactive stage shows and unique spectacles for well-respected and successful family festivals and events all over the world.  \nThe festival will take place across the East Front gardens and will largely involve simple set ups with minimal infrastructure such as rope arenas, free-standing backdrops and basic staging all with flexible positioning. We would also like there to be a showstopper act that changes each year and is a complete surprise to the audience. There will be one main stage for headline performances. \nExclusion criteria:  \nPlease refer to the Procurement Specific Questionnaire for our conditions of participation and qualifying questions.  \nResponses to Invitation to Tender:  \nAll responses to the tender must be received by HRP by Friday 11th July 2025 at midday and must be submitted electronically via our E-tendering system – Delta.  \nSuppliers will need to register on Delta in order to participate in the tender process.  \nSuppliers can register here https://www.delta-esourcing.com/register/ \nTender documents:  \nThe tender process will be available through HRP’s e-tendering system, Delta e-Sourcing.  \nTender documents will be made available to all on Delta. \nDocuments will be issued on 10th June 2025. \nHRP reserves the right not to award a contract\nFor more information about this opportunity, please visit the Delta eSourcing portal at: \nhttps://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Greater-London:-Event-services./H7WRPWZR9T\nTo respond to this opportunity, please click here: \nhttps://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/H7WRPWZR9T",
