Description

Manchester Specialist Markets undertake the task of setting up and operating the annual Manchester Christmas Markets, across ten different sites within the city centre, each year. The market is made up of a mixture of Manchester Markets owned chalets, and trader owned chalets / trailers.

Part of the requirement to manage the whole process is to engage various companies under contract to facilitate the set up (known as bump-in), maintenance during the course of the market, and removal (known as bump-out) of the chalets in specific locations.

What is required for the 2023 Christmas Market (and beyond) is a company who can bump-in, bump-out and maintain the chalets that are owned by Manchester Markets, for various sites.

This may also include peripheral requirements such as building compounds, a ramp for the mobiloo and anything else that may be required at short notice.
