Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council is currently engaging in an open procurement process for their BT368 - Markets Events Equipment tender, aimed at hiring a market/events operator to supply equipment for a series of eight calendar events throughout 2026. The council seeks providers for stalls, lighting, generators, and other necessary event equipment, including the setup and dismantling of such elements. Interested businesses should note that the tender is active, with the tender period closing on 26th November 2025, and enquiries accepted until 19th November 2025. The procurement falls under the services category with the procurement method identified as below threshold - open competition, targeting entities proficient in event services and exhibition equipment. The procurement process allows electronic submissions via the Westminster City Council's designated submission platform.

This tender offers ample opportunities for businesses specialising in event management and equipment supply, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive services for market and event setups. The potential for contract renewal into 2027 and additional ad hoc events further enhances business growth prospects, particularly for firms with a proven track record in logistical support and equipment provision. With technical aspects weighing 60% in award criteria and cost 40%, companies adept in both areas stand to benefit significantly. Suppliers that can offer competitive equipment hire rates and reliable service delivery are well-suited to compete for this tender, aligning their offerings with Westminster City Council's stipulated requirements and deadlines.
