Concession Contract for a New Major Music Festival

What the buyer is asking for

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.
