EVENTS FRAMEWORK:- Liverpool City Council produces the major outdoor events programme for the City. LCC wishes to appoint a framework of suppliers across a range of Lots to assist in the delivery of these activities. Following on from the success of European Capital of Culture in 2008, Liverpool has secured itself as one of the leading major outdoor event and Cultural destinations within the UK.
