The Isle of Man Government is inviting expressions of interest from suitably experienced, qualified and affiliated organisations to provide the service of Race organiser to the Department of Economic Development for the annual Isle of Man TT Races.

The TT Races, which take place on the iconic TT Mountain Course annually, consists of six evening qualifying sessions and four race days.

The Department is the rights holder for the TT Races and as part of the licence granted by the Auto Cycle Union Limited (ACU) the Department is looking to appoint an organiser for a two year period to cover the TT Races for 2015 and 2016 with a potential extension of up to three years to include 2017, 2018 and 2019 Races.

The Government is inviting tenders for the work as part of their standard financial regulations and the contract will be awarded in line with those regulations.

The work required includes the operational running of the Races and any Parade activity on the TT Course, race entry administration, provision of race officials including stewards, course assessment and review, marshal recruitment, on-course medical services and the overseeing of road closure requests.

The Department is requesting that anyone wishing to tender for the services expresses an interest by writing, by 27th November 2014, to Ed Swain, Procurement Services, The Treasury, Government Office, Bucks Road, Douglas, IM1 3PU or e-mail ed.swain@gov.im.

Further details will be issued to prospective parties that have expressed an interest after this date.

Has the world gone clean effing mad?

Whatever happened to the GB National Governing Body??

To whom, and in what name, will the Event Permit be issued???

I offered, but it's just ended up with the forum shutting down!
I'll keep quiet in future!

Quote:Word has it they are going to rip down the scoreboard and the cubs and scouts are going to run the TT, things are looking on the way up

I like the wording

from ( Suitably Experienced and qualified and affiliated organizations )
to my recollection there is only one other experienced body that are qualified to run a race event in a time trial format on the IOM Mountain circuit and I assume must be an affiliated organization , affiliated to what I haven't a clue

and who could that be ??? oh ye I remember the Manx Motorcycle Racing Club , Island based non profit making ooops too cheap

Now there's something I had not noticed before the contract is to include Marshal recruitment ??? Mmmmm that's interesting, they doing away with the TTMA ?? What is that all about ??

Don't know what to make of that, Eddy. Will we have to re-apply if somebody is daft enough to take it on? Dorna? or Richard Branson maybe? Virgin GoneFrantic has a nice ring to it!

Maybe the North West 200 organisers (or some of the personnel within the Coleraine club)?.
