## Summary

The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew has completed a procurement process, establishing the "RBGKEW1506 Event Tent Hire Framework". This tender aims to set up a framework with up to three suppliers for providing tents and associated services for events at locations such as Kew and Wakehurst in the United Kingdom. The framework agreement includes the supply, installation, maintenance, and de-installation of stretch tents and related accessories. The awarding stage of the tender was concluded with the aid of a limited procurement method, indicating a below threshold - limited competition approach. Contracts signed were effective from 5 February 2026 to 4 February 2028, with a potential one-year extension, marking important dates for the involved parties to consider.

The broad geographical coverage across multiple UK regions accentuates the potential business growth by servicing various event venues managed by public authorities, such as the Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, centralising growth opportunities for companies in the event services industry.
