The Bahrain Information Affairs Ministry has launched a tender for hiring event management companies for the upcoming GCC TV and Radio Festival.

It was agreed last year in November that the fifteenth session of the Festival will be in Bahrain during the first quarter of 2022. This decision was in the presence of Minister of Information Ali bin Muhammad Al-Rumaihi during a meeting of the Permanent Committee of the Gulf Radio and Television Festival.

The Minister of Information, at that time, stressed the importance of the Festival as a Gulf meeting to celebrate creativity in media. The minister had also stressed the significance of the Festival in unifying media visions at the level of the Arab Gulf, celebrating excellence and honouring the youth for their creativity in this vital domain.

The current tender by Bahrain’s Ministry of Information Affairs seeks a specialised company to prepare for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Radio and Television Festival.

The exact dates of the closing and opening ceremony are not published. The tender says a successful contractor should plan, design and execute an event venue branding for the programme.

The contractor should also “produce an opening and a closing show that will incorporate and promote GCC media to the audience,” the tender adds. Works also include designing and executing an exhibit with 3 x 9meter dimensions, conducting the awarding event, and providing 5-star dining for the 500 guests for two nights (Opening and Closing Ceremony).

The tender invites bids only from service providers having a minimum of five years of experience in event management. Those interested in the works should make bids before the 13th of this month with a BD1,000 bond and BD50 tender fees.
