Description

CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE

Provide a visually spectacular and safe fireworks display of minimum 15 minutes in length on the 22nd August 2025 around 9pm (exact time to be agreed). Ensuring the display is suitably themed.

Display/s are to be centred around Riverside Sunderland including the pedestrian bridge, the successful supplier will work with the Council to agree location/s that are deemed to be the most effective.

The supplier must incorporate into their proposed design a "waterfall effect" utilising gerbs (fountains) from the pedestrian bridge to create a pyrotechnic wall of "falling stars".

All waste from the fireworks must be collected, removed, and disposed from the firework fall out zone, and the use of biodegradable or low-emission fireworks would be preferable. Plan for post-event cleanup and waste management. Measures to minimize noise pollution and wildlife disturbance.
