UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham procured comprehensive production management services for the North End Road seasonal traffic-free festivals in London. The requirement covers professional on-site event operations, including rigging, maintenance and de-rigging of stages, power equipment, lighting, backline and sound systems. It includes supplying, installing, managing and removing a main stage and two busking stages, seasonal decorations, festoon lighting, barriers and street furniture. The supplier also manages event power and audio, provides mixing equipment for a street-party stage with local DJs, and supplies picnic benches and other furniture. Delivery requires close coordination with council services, the council events team, sponsors and local partners. This is an event services contract (CPV 79952000), suitable for SME suppliers.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to OnPoint productions. The award was made on 21 May 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 22 May 2026 to 21 May 2027, with an option to extend for a further eight months to 21 January 2028, on a per-event basis. Its value is £79,649 excluding VAT, or £95,579 including VAT. The contract is active and the award remains active. The council used a limited procedure rather than an open competition. The requirement included permission for subcontracting where appropriate, and the procurement was below the applicable threshold.

This award indicates recurring demand from the council for an end-to-end event production partner able to manage public-realm festivals safely and reliably. A credible competitor would need an experienced on-site production crew, with practical capability in stage rigging, event power, lighting, sound, backline and de-rigging. It would also need to provide or coordinate a main stage, two busking stages, festoon lighting, barriers, street furniture and mixing equipment for live street-party programming. Strong delivery depends on robust health and safety, sound-level compliance, logistics and equipment supply, alongside the ability to coordinate with events, highways, cleansing, parking and food-safety teams. Experience working with sponsors, local partners and council stakeholders would strengthen a future response, while an SME-sized operator or a well-managed subcontracting network could be well placed.
