About

Winchester City Council awarded a contract to SMT Management Consultants Ltd for the operation of the Winchester City Street Market.

The contract, valued at £645,000, required an experienced operator to manage a curated programme of street markets for three years, with an option to extend annually for up to two additional years.

The operator was tasked with delivering markets from Thursday to Saturday and on the first and third Sunday of each month, including special themed and seasonal markets such as Easter and vegan markets.

The objectives included adding vibrancy to the city centre, complementing existing retail, increasing footfall, encouraging business start-up and innovation, and minimising the markets' carbon footprint while maximising income.
