Published requirement description

In addition to delivering the existing traditional twice weekly market and develop new opportunities for a wider range of products and higher quality goods, the tender will provide supplementary market activity to showcase the recently redeveloped town centre. This should also provide opportunities for new traders, sustainability and innovation and contribute to drive footfall to Tamworth Town Centre and complement existing businesses and attractions.
