## Summary

The Organising Committee for the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games Ltd is currently managing a tender for stewarding services at The Alexander Stadium and Sandwell Aquatics Centre, specifically for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. This opportunity falls under the event services category and is situated in the West Midlands. The procurement process is at the Award stage, with contracts recently signed on 12th and 13th April 2022, valued at £252,844.77 and £298,716.48 respectively, for different lots. The anticipated event days include a test event on 21st May, with major events scheduled from late July to early August 2022.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for service providers, particularly those specialising in security, crowd management, and event staffing. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as larger companies with the capacity for rapid recruitment and training, would be well-suited to compete for these contracts. The urgency surrounding the selection of suppliers due to workforce shortages in the events industry further emphasises the potential for agile and experienced businesses to engage and succeed in this competitive process.

## Notice

This contract is for the provision of Stewards at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. Stewards are responsible for the safety and service of the spectator client group and as such are responsible for delivering the core key functions of crowd management, stewarding, ushering, ticket checking, access monitoring and the provision of spectator information and support services on venue.

### Procurement Information

Use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication (Regulation 32(2)(a) of The Public Contracts Regulations 2015) The Contracting Authority published a Contract Notice (publication reference: 2022/S 000-003681, dated 9 February 2022) however no suitable tenders for the Stewarding requirements at The Alexander Stadium (AXS) - West Stand & Entry and South Stand were submitted in response to an accelerated open procedure. The Contracting Authority had previously undertaken a Competitive Procedure with Negotiation for these stewarding requirements (publication reference: 2021/S 000-005992, dated 24 March 2021), however this competition also resulted in no suitable tenders being submitted for these Stewarding requirements. The appointment of a supplier was urgently required to allow the supplier enough time to mobilise the stewarding workforce and especially taking into consideration the challenging market conditions currently being experienced in the events industry around workforce shortages. The stewarding workforce needs to be recruited, trained, accredited and mobilised prior to the test events held by the Contracting Authority in advance of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, and therefore the requirement to appoint a supplier had become increasingly urgent. The time limits for further procurements using the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation could not be complied with.
