BID Leicester is looking for events and projects to support for 2025

BID Leicester offers sponsorship opportunities for events and promotional activities that align with our strategic objectives: enhancing the city’s environment, raising Leicester’s profile, and supporting the local business community. We provide sponsorship funding for projects that increase footfall, promote BID area businesses, and contribute to a cleaner, greener, and safer Leicester. More information on this can be found in our 2023-2028 busniess plan, which can be viewed here.

We are seeking proposals for events taking place in 2025, with a focus on key periods such as the school summer holidays, October half-term, and Christmas. Smaller events and those boosting footfall during quieter periods are also encouraged. Funding ranges from £500 to £30,000, depending on the size and impact of the project.

Decisions on applications will be made by a panel of BID Board members.

For more details and to apply, please complete the application form by 14 October 2024. Successful applicants will be notified within six weeks of the deadline.

Working with us as an external provider:

We often work with suppliers to help deliver the projects that we design – from design and videography to artists, training providers and public art installations, there are a wide range of opportunities for businesses to work with BID Leicester.

When identifying new providers we will issue a Request For Quotes (RFQ) document, outlining our requirements and inviting proposals from interested suppliers. RFQ documents will be sent to providers we are aware of who may be interested, and the opportunity will be posted on our social media channels and our website below with contact details. Proposals are usually reviewed by a panel of our board members who decide to appoint a provider.

We are keen to work with local suppliers and invest in the local economy but our decisions will always be driven by the quality of proposals that we receive.
