Description

As part of the BAT programme, we want to celebrate the tourism businesses who boost the West Midlands' reputation as a world-class destination for national and international visitors.
The West Midlands Tourism Awards will align with the annual awards cycle set out by Visit England through the national framework, the "Awards for Excellence", which begins with a series of local /regional competitions and feeds up to the national Visit England Awards for Excellence.
England's tourism awards champion the very best of the country's tourism industry, celebrating quality, innovation and best practice, and this event will provide the region with:
PR hooks for regional, national and international press activity.
An independent audit of the region's best tourism and hospitality businesses.
A celebration of industry best practice, sustainability and innovation.
An opportunity to push the gold and silver award winners through to the National Awards for Excellence competition.
This tender is for an event management company who will need to plan, manage and deliver a memorable, high-quality awards event in the best of the region's venues to cater for around 300 guests and award winners
As above
We intend to award an Event Management company (EMC) with a contract for 17 months of event management - to deliver the West Midlands Awards for Excellence events in 2022 and 2023 (West Midlands Tourism Awards).
The winning EMC will be responsible for the successful delivery of a live Awards for Excellence event in a West Midlands venue for circa. 300 people, in 2022 and 2023.
It is critical that the EMC has the ability to pivot to a virtual or hybrid event offer should C-19 restrictions prevent an in-person event from taking place
