Manchester City Council is procuring security and crowd-safety services across three Lots covering Specialist Markets, City Events, and the Taxi Marshal Scheme. Lots 1 and 2 will be established as single supplier framework agreements to support a flexible annual programme of markets and events.

There is no restriction on the number of Lots a supplier may tender for, or be awarded to.
