1. Background
From 12-21 July 2019 England Netball (EN) and its event partners, UK Sport, Liverpool City
Council and ACC Liverpool will be hosting the 15th edition of the Netball World Cup in Liverpool.
The Netball World Cup is the most prestigious event in world netball and the competition will
feature the world’s top 16 teams over ten days of thrilling competition, at which Commonwealth
champions England Roses will compete for gold alongside arch rivals Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa and Jamaica.
The Vitality Netball World Cup 2019 comes at an exciting time for women’s sport in the UK, and
particularly for netball, as more people than ever before are now playing the game, watching it
on television, attending matches and following online.
Netball World Cup 2019 Limited (NWC2019 Ltd) has been set up by EN as a Special Purpose Vehicle
for the delivery of the event, including the management of all supplier relationships.
2. Scope of tender
The Vitality Netball World Cup 2019 is a major international sports event and as such there is an
expectation to deliver high quality ‘big event’ venue dressing to welcome and excite spectators,
players, media and VIPs attending the event. NWC2019 Ltd budgets are tight and therefore we
are seeking to work with a supplier who can deliver cost-effective solutions without
compromising on the delivery and the experience of our different client groups.
NWC2019 Ltd is looking to contract a company to produce, install and remove the venue
dressing for the event, returning the venue to good afterwards. Artwork will be designed by us
and provided to the contracted supplier within agreed timescales.
The appointed contractor will be expected to conduct site visits at the venue as necessary, in
order to agree venue dressing locations with NWC2019 Ltd, provide measurements for artwork
design where these are not standard sites existing within the venue and establish best materials
and fixings to use for production and installation.
The appointed company will also be required to submit requested health and safety information
(including RAMS, working at height and product information sheets etc) in advance of working
on the event and adhere to ACC Liverpool and NWC2019 Ltd’s procedures whilst working at the
venue.
Although the majority of venue dressing and wayfinding will be contracted to the appointed
supplier, this is not an exclusive contract – some elements eg paper posters, pull-up banners
etc may be produced using existing ad hoc suppliers if this proves to be the most cost-efficient
option.

uses the whole of the ACC campus site, with competition taking place in the Echo Arena, warm-
up at the BT Convention Centre and training at the Exhibition Centre.
For the first four days of competition there will be two courts in the arena, with an overnight
transition to one court taking place on Monday 15 July.

4. Requirements
The below information outlines an initial venue dressing and wayfinding scope, which we would
like you to respond to in your tender.
The scale of venue dressing achievable at the Vitality Netball World Cup 2019 will be determined
by budget. The items below are a guide and we may scale down some of these or be unable to do
them if cost is prohibitive.
There will be additional venue dressing requirements in the VIP/hospitality areas, which will be
scoped in full with the appointed supplier, following a site visit.
Depending on costs, there may be other opportunities outside those highlighted below. These
will be worked through with the appointed supplier in early 2019.
