UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

This notice invites suppliers to participate in a procurement by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to establish the Event Management Framework 1 (EMF1), which will support the delivery of government event requirements. This procurement is being carried out in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 under the Light Touch regime, enabling a proportionate and flexible procurement approach. The EMF1 is intended to provide a flexible and accessible route to market for agency-led event services, reflecting the operating models of the UK events sector. The framework will be available for use by central government departments and arm’s-length bodies to procure event services in a consistent and structured manner. It is anticipated that call-offs will primarily be conducted through mini-competitions, with provision for direct award where permitted. The proposed framework structure comprises the following lots: Lot 1 – National and Public-Facing Events: end-to-end delivery of large-scale, high-profile national events. Lot 2 – Medium to Large Indoor Events: planning, design and delivery of structured indoor events. Lot 3 – Government Presence at Third-Party Events: planning and delivery of government participation within externally delivered events. Lot 4 – Small Events: delivery of small-scale and/or short-duration events. Lot 5 – Event Assurance Services: Provision of specialist services focused on crowd management planning, crowd safety, and operational crowd security. Tenderers may submit bids for a maximum of two (2) Lots. Bids for Lot 5 may not be submitted in combination with Lot 1 or Lot 2. DCMS invites all interested suppliers to participate in this opportunity. The invitation to tender documents containing the full instructions for this opportunity are available on the Atamis e-sourcing portal, guidance for accessing this can be found within the submission details section of this notice.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is looking to procure a supplier to provide independent technical assurance to the multi-sport facility projects being funded through the Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities programme. The programme is being delivered in England through the Football Foundation, and by the Football Associations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The assurance we are seeking is for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland only. This is because technical assurance is already being delivered for projects in England via the Sport England framework. Appointing a separate supplier for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will provide an extra layer of delivery confidence to ensure all funded projects can be delivered effectively and represent value for money for the government, the club and its partners. The supplier will need to be in place as soon as possible to help assess bids/projects looking to deliver from April 2024, and provide advice and guidance to projects already being delivered.

The aim of this research is to understand the scale of the cultural infrastructure maintenance backlog to assess the potential cost of government intervention, understand why this backlog exists and develop a methodology for assessing the impact of investment into improving cultural infrastructure to make a better and more-informed case for government intervention.
