    Brief

    Sheffield City Council is seeking to understand the market for Christmas Market services through a soft market engagement exercise. This is an exploratory process to gauge supplier interest and capability, not a formal tender or contract award. The council invites suppliers experienced in delivering Christmas markets to provide information about their services, capacity, and interest in working with Sheffield City Council. This soft market test will help the council assess available options and gather market intelligence to inform future procurement decisions. Suppliers should note that participation in this exercise does not guarantee a contract opportunity or lead to immediate procurement.
