Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Culture Media & Sport (DCMS) initiated a procurement process for the "Events Research Programme - Liverpool," focusing on research and development services related to evaluating COVID-19 pilot events in Liverpool. This single tender action, valued at £321,680.06, was completed on 14 April 2021, with the contract period running from 15 April 2021 to 31 July 2021. The procurement primarily took place in Liverpool, and the contract was awarded to the University of Liverpool, which will carry out the evaluation necessary for informing national policies on event safety.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses engaged in research and development, particularly those specialising in public health and event management solutions, to contribute to the national dialogue on safely hosting public gatherings. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly well-suited to compete, as they may offer innovative approaches to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Businesses that can provide insights or data analytics related to public health and safety protocols in large gatherings are especially encouraged to seek similar opportunities.
