The tender documents show the date ranges for the events over the next three years and provide a guide to how much the City Council is expecting in return to run the food and drink operations.

The council are also expecting to receive over £44,398 plus the same administration fee for the food operation side.

Businesses interested in operating the bar and food offeringsfor the events have until the end of February to apply, with the council stating in the tender documents that "Price is only one of the criteria that applicants will be scored against—the highest tender value will not automatically constitute the contract being awarded."
