This report seeks approval to award the contract to operate Fareham Live on behalf of the Council to the preferred bidder.
The skill required to programme and operate Fareham Live means that management by an experienced operator is required.
Following the withdrawal of BH Live as the Council’s preferred operator on 20 October 2021, the Council has undertaken a new procurement exercise.
The report seeks approval to appoint the preferred operator of Fareham Live. Following a detailed procurement exercise, three final bidders have provided submissions that offer a varied and high-quality programme of events and activities to enable Fareham Live to be a vibrant venue with activity throughout the day and evening.
The evaluation of the submissions and preferred bidder are provided in confidential Appendix A to the report.
