Provision of Event Services Framework

Description

Event Exeter, operating as part of the University of Exeter, is responsible for overseeing all events held across its Streatham and St Luke’s campuses. These events span a broad range of sizes and types, from smaller functions for approximately 100 attendees to large-scale concerts and gatherings for up to 1,700 guests. Events are held year-round, with security needs adapted to meet the unique demands of each occasion. To successfully run these events we are looking for a range of suppliers to join our internal framework from which we will call off as needed. The areas we require are security, medical cover, marquee hire and furniture and equipment hire, detailed in four separate lots. Lot 1: Lot 1 – Event Security Services Event Exeter, part of the University of Exeter, manages events across its Streatham and St Luke’s campuses, requiring professional security to ensure safety, licensing compliance, and venue integrity. Events range from small functions to large gatherings of up to 1,700 attendees, with 50–60 events annually. Some occasions need up to 50 security staff for crowd control and access management. Enhanced measures may be required for high-risk events or overnight protection of venues and equipment.

Cover will be required year-round, with staffing and resource levels determined by event demand.
