This procurement process falls under the services category and is targeting various event-related needs primarily in the Greater London area, within a 25-mile radius of Central London, and sometimes extending beyond the M25 boundary. The tender period is set to conclude on 12th July 2021, while the contract is expected to commence on 14th May 2022 and run until 13th May 2027. This open procurement procedure invites a diverse range of suppliers to participate. This opportunity is ideal for businesses specialising in event services, particularly those providing temporary structures such as marquees and tents, along with associated services like flooring and installation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to compete, as the nature of the requirements may lend itself to flexible service providers who can respond quickly to urgent requests, making this an excellent avenue for growth within the public sector contracting landscape. ## Notice Property Services Operational Support Group (OSG) of the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) require a 24/7/365 service year round for the hire, supply and erection of marquees and tents for operations and events. Requirements for large national events with specific venues are sometimes known in advance, but on rare occasions, urgent responses will be requested for the hire and erection of equipment at short notice. Generally, the marquees and/or tents will be required to be positioned in specific locations that are either on MPS property, or on hired rented grounds, for example private playing fields, schools etc. at defined times and usually within an approximate 25 mile radius of Central London and the M25 boundary. The supplier will be given adequate access to allow erection of marquee and ancillary items. However, there may be occasions where marquees are required outside the M25 boundary. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/94c3ce2a-31fd-4541-8717-57a954c542b8 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Jun 2021 | | Submission deadline | 12 Jul 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 13 May 2022 - 13 May 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | METROPOLITAN POLICE SERVICE | | Locality | GREATER LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW6 1TR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI33 Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham | | Local authority | Hammersmith and Fulham | | Electoral ward | West Kensington | | Westminster constituency | Chelsea and Fulham | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 33163000 - Tent for medical use - 39522000 - Tarpaulins, sails for boats, sailboards or land craft, awnings, sunblinds, tents and camping goods - 39522100 - Tarpaulins, awnings and sunblinds - 39522500 - Textile camping goods - 39522530 - Tents - 44112200 - Floor coverings - 44112210 - Solid flooring - 44112220 - False floors - 44212000 - Structural products and parts except prefabricated buildings - 45223100 - Assembly of metal structures - 45223110 - Installation of metal structures - 45432100 - Floor laying and covering work - 45432110 - Floor-laying work - 45432111 - Laying work of flexible floor coverings - 45432113 - Parquet flooring - 45432114 - Wood flooring work - 45432130 - Floor-covering work - 79952000 - Event services - 92330000 - Recreational-area services ## Release History - 15 Jun 2021 at 11:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/94c3ce2a-31fd-4541-8717-57a954c542b8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/94c3ce2a-31fd-4541-8717-57a954c542b8 15th June 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=38268&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/40396 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
