## Summary

The Metropolitan Police Service has awarded a contract for the provision of the supply and hire of temporary facilities, specifically marquees and tents, to support operations and events throughout the year. The procurement process was carried out using an open procedure, and the awarded contract, valued at £435,075, is set to last from 14th May 2022 to 13th May 2027. The main service delivery area is within a 25-mile radius of Central London, though services may extend beyond the M25 for specific requirements. This procurement falls under the 'services' category, with a particular emphasis on event services and tenting products.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the supply and management of temporary structures, especially in the event services sector. Companies that specialise in the hire and assembly of marquees and related equipment, as well as those that can respond quickly to urgent requests, will be well-positioned to compete. The diversity of required services means that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community organisations (VCSOs) can also find opportunities to collaborate and contribute, enhancing their potential for growth within this sector.

## 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.
