Redesign of website for Burnavon Arts & Cultural Centre

Established in 1999, the Burnavon Arts & Cultural Centre is a community focused theatre, conference and arts venue based in Cookstown at the heart of Mid Ulster, offering a wide range of arts and entertainment including concerts, comedy, children’s performances, dance, drama, community and visual arts.  There are three main departmental functions within the venue; Theatre/performance & conferencing, Arts & Cultural Development and the Cookstown District Tourist Information Centre.
The current website has been running for approximately 5 years and has become dated. The current website only presents information on the theatre performances and so does not reflect the total product offering within the venue. It is a key part of the venue’s marketing strategy to increase online sales, currently at approximately 30%.
The Burnavon Arts & Cultural Centre requires a fresh, vibrant look and feel for its current website which is reflective of the venue’s complete product offering across all Departments, and which compliments current Burnavon branding.
To facilitate this, the Burnavon is seeking to appoint a service provider - Website Design Consultancy - to develop an appropriate website design and to provide consultancy on additional aspects of the site as and when required (e.g. Page layout & images etc.).

Liverpool is a leading international city recognised throughout the world. Its selection as 2008 European Capital of Culture provided Liverpool with an opportunity to show the world how much it has progressed and changed people’s perception of the city. Liverpool has created huge momentum through the staging of events; initiatives such as the Tradition ICAP Liverpool International Tennis Tournament and the launch of the Liverpool Boat Show are further signs of the confidence people and organisations have in the City’s ability to deliver. Building on this success, Liverpool City Council believes the city could host a high profile marathon. We believe the city should aim high and establish its Marathon as one of the three major running events of the year alongside the London Marathon and the Great North Run. It should be ambitious with targets of attracting over 20 000 participants, live television, over 2 000 000 of direct economic impact and an elite race within 5 years. The city is positioned well to welcome an event of this nature. Having staged large scale set pieces such as 2008’s La Machine and major road races, Liverpool City Council’s Highways Department and Merseyside Police are now crucial partners who provide positive and constructive advice that would be welcomed by any delivery partner the City selects.

Entertainment Services - The provision of London's Festival Live Sites for the 2012 Games.

The GLA (Greater London Authority) and TRP (The Royal Parks Agency) are seeking expressions of interest from parties who would like to promote large-scale public events in Hyde Park during the two weeks prior to and throughout the Olympic Games (circa 14.7.2012 – 13.8.2012), and further public events at 2 smaller locations in Central London during the Olympic and Paralympic Games period (to circa 9.9.2012). This opportunity forms part of the GLA’s London Live Site programme.
We expect to let one contract to one successful tenderer for the running and operation of all 3 sites during the operational period.
Applicants will need to demonstrate that they have sufficient experience and financial backing to carry out their proposed event successfully.
Organisers without previous experience of promoting events on a similar scale to that which they are proposing will not be considered.
Within the programme of events, we would expect there to be big screens showing the Games and other content, together with a variety of event types, such as music concerts, sports participation events, exhibitions; outdoor arts and cultural events (subject to planning constraints). We would expect the successful tenderer to demonstrate experience of staging such a variety of similar events.
Large-scale music concerts will provide commercial opportunities, which will be paid for ticketed events with an expected audience of up to 50 000 in Hyde Park. The successful tenderer will retain all revenue raised from ticket sales in Hyde Park. (The 2 smaller sites will accommodate between 4 500 – 7 500 people and will therefore offer limited/no opportunity to raise revenue from commercial concerts at these sites.).
In addition, the successful tenderer will have the opportunity to raise revenue through sponsorship, unbranded concessions, hospitality and merchandise across all three sites, with the caveat that sponsorship must only be sought from the official Olympic sponsor family and Paralympic sponsor family during the Paralympic period only.
Broadcasting rights are owned by the IOC during the Olympic period but may be available to the event promoter in the operational period before the Olympics begin (to be confirmed).
There will be a cap on the number of commercial music concerts that operate during the operational period of the Festival Live Sites.
In return, the GLA & TRP require all infrastructure costs across the three sites to be paid for by the successful tenderer, require a fee to be paid to TRP, and expect a comprehensive and varied free-to-access / accessible programme to be co-developed with the GLA and made available to the public during the operational period.

Redesign of website for Burnavon Arts & Cultural Centre

Established in 1999, the Burnavon Arts & Cultural Centre is a community focused theatre, conference and arts venue based in Cookstown at the heart of Mid Ulster, offering a wide range of arts and entertainment including concerts, comedy, children’s performances, dance, drama, community and visual arts.  There are three main departmental functions within the venue; Theatre/performance & conferencing, Arts & Cultural Development and the Cookstown District Tourist Information Centre.
The current website has been running for approximately 5 years and has become dated. The current website only presents information on the theatre performances and so does not reflect the total product offering within the venue. It is a key part of the venue’s marketing strategy to increase online sales, currently at approximately 30%.
The Burnavon Arts & Cultural Centre requires a fresh, vibrant look and feel for its current website which is reflective of the venue’s complete product offering across all Departments, and which compliments current Burnavon branding.
To facilitate this, the Burnavon is seeking to appoint a service provider - Website Design Consultancy - to develop an appropriate website design and to provide consultancy on additional aspects of the site as and when required (e.g. Page layout & images etc.).

Liverpool is a leading international city recognised throughout the world. Its selection as 2008 European Capital of Culture provided Liverpool with an opportunity to show the world how much it has progressed and changed people’s perception of the city. Liverpool has created huge momentum through the staging of events; initiatives such as the Tradition ICAP Liverpool International Tennis Tournament and the launch of the Liverpool Boat Show are further signs of the confidence people and organisations have in the City’s ability to deliver. Building on this success, Liverpool City Council believes the city could host a high profile marathon. We believe the city should aim high and establish its Marathon as one of the three major running events of the year alongside the London Marathon and the Great North Run. It should be ambitious with targets of attracting over 20 000 participants, live television, over 2 000 000 of direct economic impact and an elite race within 5 years. The city is positioned well to welcome an event of this nature. Having staged large scale set pieces such as 2008’s La Machine and major road races, Liverpool City Council’s Highways Department and Merseyside Police are now crucial partners who provide positive and constructive advice that would be welcomed by any delivery partner the City selects.

We would expect the successful tenderer to demonstrate experience of staging such a variety of similar events.
Large-scale music concerts will provide commercial opportunities, which will be paid for ticketed events with an expected audience of up to 50 000 in Hyde Park. The successful tenderer will retain all revenue raised from ticket sales in Hyde Park. (The 2 smaller sites will accommodate between 4 500 – 7 500 people and will therefore offer limited/no opportunity to raise revenue from commercial concerts at these sites.).
In addition, the successful tenderer will have the opportunity to raise revenue through sponsorship, unbranded concessions, hospitality and merchandise across all three sites, with the caveat that sponsorship must only be sought from the official Olympic sponsor family and Paralympic sponsor family during the Paralympic period only.

There will be a cap on the number of commercial music concerts that operate during the operational period of the Festival Live Sites.
In return, the GLA & TRP require all infrastructure costs across the three sites to be paid for by the successful tenderer, require a fee to be paid to TRP, and expect a comprehensive and varied free-to-access / accessible programme to be co-developed with the GLA and made available to the public during the operational period.

We believe the city should aim high and establish its Marathon as one of the three major running events of the year alongside the London Marathon and the Great North Run. It should be ambitious with targets of attracting over 20 000 participants, live television, over 2 000 000 of direct economic impact and an elite race within 5 years. The city is positioned well to welcome an event of this nature. Having staged large scale set pieces such as 2008’s La Machine and major road races, Liverpool City Council’s Highways Department and Merseyside Police are now crucial partners who provide positive and constructive advice that would be welcomed by any delivery partner the City selects.

Entertainment Services - The provision of London's Festival Live Sites for the 2012 Games.

The GLA (Greater London Authority) and TRP (The Royal Parks Agency) are seeking expressions of interest from parties who would like to promote large-scale public events in Hyde Park during the two weeks prior to and throughout the Olympic Games (circa 14.7.2012 – 13.8.2012), and further public events at 2 smaller locations in Central London during the Olympic and Paralympic Games period (to circa 9.9.2012). This opportunity forms part of the GLA’s London Live Site programme.
We expect to let one contract to one successful tenderer for the running and operation of all 3 sites during the operational period.
Applicants will need to demonstrate that they have sufficient experience and financial backing to carry out their proposed event successfully.
Organisers without previous experience of promoting events on a similar scale to that which they are proposing will not be considered.
Within the programme of events, we would expect there to be big screens showing the Games and other content, together with a variety of event types, such as music concerts, sports participation events, exhibitions; outdoor arts and cultural events (subject to planning constraints). We would expect the successful tenderer to demonstrate experience of staging such a variety of similar events.
Large-scale music concerts will provide commercial opportunities, which will be paid for ticketed events with an expected audience of up to 50 000 in Hyde Park. The successful tenderer will retain all revenue raised from ticket sales in Hyde Park. (The 2 smaller sites will accommodate between 4 500 – 7 500 people and will therefore offer limited/no opportunity to raise revenue from commercial concerts at these sites.).
In addition, the successful tenderer will have the opportunity to raise revenue through sponsorship, unbranded concessions, hospitality and merchandise across all three sites, with the caveat that sponsorship must only be sought from the official Olympic sponsor family and Paralympic sponsor family during the Paralympic period only.
Broadcasting rights are owned by the IOC during the Olympic period but may be available to the event promoter in the operational period before the Olympics begin (to be confirmed).
There will be a cap on the number of commercial music concerts that operate during the operational period of the Festival Live Sites.
In return, the GLA & TRP require all infrastructure costs across the three sites to be paid for by the successful tenderer, require a fee to be paid to TRP, and expect a comprehensive and varied free-to-access / accessible programme to be co-developed with the GLA and made available to the public during the operational period.

Redesign of website for Burnavon Arts & Cultural Centre

Established in 1999, the Burnavon Arts & Cultural Centre is a community focused theatre, conference and arts venue based in Cookstown at the heart of Mid Ulster, offering a wide range of arts and entertainment including concerts, comedy, children’s performances, dance, drama, community and visual arts.  There are three main departmental functions within the venue; Theatre/performance & conferencing, Arts & Cultural Development and the Cookstown District Tourist Information Centre.
The current website has been running for approximately 5 years and has become dated. The current website only presents information on the theatre performances and so does not reflect the total product offering within the venue. It is a key part of the venue’s marketing strategy to increase online sales, currently at approximately 30%.
The Burnavon Arts & Cultural Centre requires a fresh, vibrant look and feel for its current website which is reflective of the venue’s complete product offering across all Departments, and which compliments current Burnavon branding.
To facilitate this, the Burnavon is seeking to appoint a service provider - Website Design Consultancy - to develop an appropriate website design and to provide consultancy on additional aspects of the site as and when required (e.g. Page layout & images etc.).
