Summary of the contracting process

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) procured corporate event management services for events held across Northern Ireland, including awards ceremonies and other annual or ad hoc events. The work can involve venues on the police estate, such as Newforge Country Club, the Police College and Garnerville, as well as Riddell Hall in Belfast, hotels and conference facilities. The requirement covers planning and delivering event services, exhibition, fair, congress and seminar organisation. CPD – Supplies & Service Division managed the procurement for PSNI. The service category is event management and organisation, with activity delivered at venues across Northern Ireland rather than at a single fixed site.

The procurement is complete and was run as a single lot through an above-threshold open procedure under the light-touch regime. Eight bids were received and six reached the final stage, including three from SMEs. The contract was awarded on 22 September 2026 to a supplier whose name is withheld, at £562,000 excluding VAT (£674,400 including VAT). The procurement contract period was 11 May 2026 to 10 May 2031; the award record gives a contract period of 3 October 2026 to 2 October 2031, with signature due by 2 October 2026. Evaluation weighted quality at 65% and price at 35%, using methodology and resource management, contract manager experience, contract management, continuity planning and social value, alongside prices for two scenarios. Technical selection requirements applied.

This opportunity indicates sustained demand from PSNI for an event management partner able to deliver varied corporate events across Northern Ireland and manage changing venue requirements. A credible competitor would need strong end-to-end event planning and resource management, experience managing public-sector or similarly complex contracts, and an experienced contract manager. The evaluation also shows the importance of robust contract governance, contingency planning that maintains service continuity, and demonstrable social value, alongside competitive pricing across different event scenarios. Suppliers should be able to coordinate venues, logistics, exhibitions, fairs, congresses, seminars and awards events, including work at police facilities and external hotels or conference venues. The previous competition attracted SME participation, indicating that capable smaller event specialists can be relevant, particularly with sufficient delivery capacity and dependable continuity arrangements.
