Nelson City Council - Community Events Coordination Services - RFP - 1 May 2023

Details

Nelson City Council’s Events Team (the Buyer) delivers a meaningful variety of fun and accessible events to empower and benefit our diverse community’s wellbeing.

Events fit into two categories: All-ages Events and Youth Events. Our events are delivered across the whole financial year (i.e., from July to June). The aim of our events is twofold: support personal development within our community, and entertain our audience who in return, feels engaged, connected, and inspired.

To achieve this, our events are principally delivered by local event crews and performers. This contributes to the personal development of members of our community who are considering a career in the events sector, as well as supporting the personal development of our local artists in their respective creative journeys.

Successful applicants (i.e., Supplier, Respondent) will be invited to sign a 3-year contract that creates the conditions for implementing, tweaking, and developing the event they are contracted to deliver.

Some events have a very defined concept already, others have creative room to play with, while a few are open to new proposals. All events , have defined budgets that are indicated in this document and all proposals must fit within the given financial boundaries.

Finally, parameters such as accessibility, diversity, financial sustainability, impact on environment and climate change, are defining features of the events we deliver and must be considered when a proposal is submitted.
