## Summary

The Imperial War Museums (IWM) in London has announced a tender for the hire of marquees for their renowned air shows at IWM Duxford, specifically the Summer Air Show and the Battle of Britain Air Show. Classified under the event services industry (CPV code 79952000), this procurement process is at the tender amendment stage and has recently been updated on 22 November 2024. The total value of the contract is estimated at £500,000, with the tender period closing on 20 December 2024. The contract is set to start on 15 February 2025 and will run until 14 February 2028. The procurement method is an open procedure, inviting tenders from a broad range of suppliers to promote competition and transparency.

Participation in this tender represents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for companies specialising in event services and marquee hire. However, due to the high contract value, it may be more suited for larger enterprises rather than SMEs or VCSEs. The successful bidder will gain long-term exposure through association with prestigious events drawing significant public and media interest. Therefore, businesses with experience in large-scale event logistics and those capable of meeting rigorous service standards will find this contract especially advantageous.
