The brief

Colchester Borough Council relocated Colchester Market to the High Street in April 2015.

Colchester Market is a twice weekly Charter Market, however there is an additional ambition to hold a variety of themed markets in the town.

We would like to explore this further and would like to have informal discussions with potential suppliers of themed markets with a view to gaining: · A better understanding of what types of themed market are available and which may be interested in coming to Colchester · Understanding how themed markets work in terms of business models · How they operate · What kinds of contract are required · The demand for these markets in terms of footfall in other places · How and where charges apply · Risks · Opportunities · Benefits This is an exploratory research project, which we are looking to complete by the end of November which may lead to procurement of services at some point in future.

Next Steps To arrange an appointment or to discuss further please contact: Jan Warren, Colchester Borough Council, Rowan House, Sheepen Road, Colchester, Essex CO3 3WG or Jan.Warren@colchester.gov.uk
