Summary of the contracting process

Peabody Trust Ltd commissioned an experienced event and activation partner to curate, manage and deliver monthly activation events at Cygnet Square, a newly developed public square within Peabody’s Southmere development in Thamesmead. The requirement combines event programming and on-the-ground delivery, including cultural event organisation and catering services. The work is focused on creating a regular programme of activity for this specific square and development, rather than a general events service across Peabody’s estate. Delivery is in Thamesmead, London.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. One supplier, 2inspire Academy CIC, was selected. The contract was signed on 13 September 2026, with a period from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2027 and a possible extension of up to 12 months by agreement. The contract value is £58,000 excluding VAT (£69,600 including VAT). The procurement was below threshold; the recorded method is described as below threshold, with no further procedure detail. It was organised as one lot. The published procurement information does not set out an evaluation basis or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award shows that Peabody buys a recurring, monthly activation programme for a defined public space in its Southmere development. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate experience curating events as well as managing logistics and delivering them consistently on site. The scope spans cultural programming and catering, so suppliers able to coordinate these elements into a coherent programme would be well placed. The selected provider was a community interest company and an SME, showing that this scale of work was delivered by a smaller social enterprise rather than requiring a large national events operator. Familiarity with the local setting and the ability to engage people through regular activity would support a strong offer for this specific buyer and place.
