Description

The Council wishes to establish a Contract for the provision of music at the Pump Room - the Pump Room Trio.
Music is an integral part of the Pump Room experience, and the Pump Room Trio is acknowledged as being the longest continuously running ensemble in the country having its origins as the Pump Room Orchestra.
Music is provided by a Piano Trio comprising piano, violin and cello as well as also by solo pianists.
Quality music in the Pump Room enhances the visitor experience, resulting in higher spend by diners and therefore, a greater financial return to the Council.

To download full specification, go to www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk, register if not already and then sign in.
The assessment of Trio applications will comprise:
Firstly, submission of a current performance by the Trio on video. Trio to perform a classical piece (or part thereof) with max length 2 mins. This does not need to be professionally recorded.
Videos are to be sent to the following email address: tom_deller@bathnes.gov.uk

The five best Trios identified by this initial screening will be invited for audition and interview. Auditions and interviews to take place on 4th April 2022. Pricing will be requested from the 5 shortlisted companies and the interview and price scores combined to create a final score. The trio with the best overall score will be successful.
