## Summary

The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew is engaging in a public procurement process for the extension of the contract titled "Kew the Music," which involves entertainment services. This direct procurement method, using a single tender action, allows for a 12-month extension to the existing contract with Kilimanjaro Live Ltd. The procurement is classified under the service category of CPV code 92300000 and is set in Richmond, London, UK. The contract period commences on 30th April 2020 and concludes on 30th September 2021, with the contract value estimated at £130,000. The award of the contract was confirmed on 14th April 2020, and the final notice of the award was published on 1st September 2020.

This opportunity presents a unique growth potential for businesses in the entertainment services sector, particularly those capable of delivering music concert services. Companies experienced in managing large-scale events or concerts would be especially suitable to compete for future contracts once the current arrangements are concluded. As RBG Kew repositions its focus towards urgent needs stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, there may be additional opportunities for local businesses to engage in similar procurement processes to support cultural and community activities in London.

## Notice

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew (RBG Kew) believes that the first condition set out in Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 has been fulfilled in respect of the award of this contract. RBG Kew has taken the decision to extend the existing Contract with Kilimanjaro Live Ltd for the provision of Music Concert services for a period of up to 12 months (twelve months). This is to enable RBG Kew resources to be diverted to procuring urgent requirements to deal with COVID-19 consequences; to relieve pressure on the supply chain while short staffed; and to allow us to focus upon business critical activities including caring for our world-class collections, where we have some of the world's rarest and most endangered plants. RBG Kew intends to deliver replacement contracts as quickly as possible after the COVID-19 impact.
