The successful applicant will be tasked with the design, delivery and management of the ticketing technology, platform and supporting hardware software and communications devices, including managing real-transaction on its online sales site, that will be integrated with the official website.

Other duties will include the receipt and fulfillment of both paper and electronic mail orders, and the implementation of a random selection ballot should tickets for events be oversubscribed.

The budget for the contract is estimated to be between £1,800,000 and £2,300,000, beginning on 1 May 2012 until 31 October 2014.
