Description
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.
