## Summary

The City of London Corporation, formally the Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, procured event management consultancy services for the Barbican Centre. The requirement was to support the delivery of stakeholder events, covering event-related professional advice and management rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. The procurement is categorised as services, with the relevant classification describing event services. Delivery was in the United Kingdom. The buyer was seeking support connected specifically with the Barbican Centre’s stakeholder events, so relevant businesses are event management consultancies and independent event professionals with the ability to advise on and help deliver events for a major cultural organisation and its stakeholders.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to Emma Whitton, an SME supplier. The contract was signed on 30 May 2026 and runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. Its value is £37,500 excluding VAT, or £45,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies the requirement as event management consultancy services supporting stakeholder events at the Barbican Centre. The award was made through a non-competitive route, so the outcome demonstrates the buyer’s use of a below-threshold direct procurement for this type and scale of service.

This award is relevant to event management consultancies and experienced independent practitioners able to provide end-to-end support for stakeholder events. A credible competitor would need to combine event planning and management capability with strong organisation, stakeholder communication and the practical ability to support delivery for a high-profile cultural venue. The successful supplier was recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only by a large agency. The opportunity also provides a clear indication of the buyer’s preference for a focused consultancy service connected to the Barbican Centre, and of the scale of supplier capability needed for a single-year stakeholder-events requirement.
