Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "LS053 - Framework for Provision of Crowd Safety Staff at Events" was executed by London Stadium 185 Limited, a public authority operating at the sub-central government level. The procurement aimed to establish an eight-year framework for crowd safety staff and related services at events held at the London Stadium, with an estimated total value of £60 million. Key procurement stages were covered, from the tender initiated on 21 March 2025 to its completion, with the contract award notices issued by 3 September 2025. The services covered under this framework have been broken down into several lots, including crowd safety, hospitality, response teams, search dog teams, traffic management, and control room operations. The procurement was managed as an open procedure, emphasising health and safety services, and covered a range of locations across the UK.

This framework presents robust business growth opportunities, especially for security and facilities management companies looking to expand within the public events sector. Smaller and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as larger firms specialised in safety and security services, are well-suited to benefit. The open framework allows new bidders in subsequent years, which encourages competition and the inclusion of capable firms. The awarded contracts to multiple suppliers within each lot enable diversification and specialisation, which are advantageous for companies with unique capabilities in areas like canine security teams, traffic management, and hospitality safety. Furthermore, complying with the London Living Wage, promoting social value, and upholding strong performance standards are integral aspects of this procurement, appealing to businesses dedicated to ethical and responsible service delivery.
