Overview

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is establishing the Event Management Framework 1 (EMF1), a flexible procurement route to support government event delivery across five lots: national and public-facing events, medium to large indoor events, government presence at third-party events, small events, and event assurance services. The framework, valued at £250 million and currently in evaluation, will enable central government departments and arm's-length bodies to procure event services through mini-competitions or direct award, with bidders permitted to submit proposals for a maximum of two lots.
