## Summary

The Royal Parks (TRP Trading Company Ltd) recently awarded a contract for the operation and management of the Hyde Park Music Festival from 2022 to 2027. The procurement process was conducted under a limited tender procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The buyer organisation, The Royal Parks, is located in London, United Kingdom, and falls under the industry category of event services. The key date for the contract award was on September 29, 2020, with a contract value of GBP 438,000,000.

This tender for the Hyde Park Music Festival offers opportunities for businesses in the event services sector to participate in managing and organising this large-scale music festival over a six-year period. Companies experienced in event operations and management, particularly those with expertise in organising music festivals and large-scale events, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The contract provides stability for attracting suppliers like AEG Presents Ltd, the current active supplier, creating a platform for long-term business growth and collaboration.

## Notice

The Royal Parks (TRP Trading Company Ltd) invited tenders for an event contract for the operation and management of Hyde Park Music Festival for a six year period. The contract was subsequently modified to include two additional event slots ("Additional Events") for the years 2022-2024 due to these event slots becoming unexpectedly available and the charity not having the necessary time available to undertake a procurement exercise. The modification notice was published on 08/09/2021 with reference number 2021/S 174-455283.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Royal Parks (TRP Trading Company Ltd) invited tenders for an event contract for the operation and management of Hyde Park Music Festival for a six year period. TRP intends to modify the existing contract for the operation and management of Hyde Park Music Festival (HPMF) to allow the Event Organiser to hold Additional Events in 2025, 2026 & 2027, each having a capacity of 49,999. All of the events permissible each year under the contract (including the Additional Events) will be held within a three-week time period in June and July each year

### Procurement Information

This is an Event Services contract, classified as 'social and other specific services' under Schedule 3 of the CCR. As such, TRP does not consider Regulation 43 of the CCR applies. Additional Events (AEs) have become available because a concession contract for an event in September expired during the Covid pandemic. The cost of staging a smaller standalone event in September substantially outweighs the inclusion of the AEs in the HPMF Contract for 2025-27. Instead of 2 lots of event infrastructure being built and de-rigged and 2 lots of concerts - as was the previous arrangement when the 2 slots that are now the AEs were previously used for different events in September - there is only 1 event, 1 lot of infrastructure and 1 lot of disruption - significantly better for the park environment and the enjoyment of the park by its visitors. The AEs will take place in June/July as an extension to the existing Hyde Park Music Festival over a three-week period, making use of the existing infrastructure. The modification is also necessary as there is no time to procure an alternative event organiser (under a separate contract) to hold the AEs from 2025.
