    Brief

    The Event Management Framework 2 (EMF2) is a modern, flexible procurement route developed by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to help government departments and arm's-length bodies access specialist event goods and services efficiently. The open framework is structured into 8 key lots covering: stewarding and event operations; security and accreditation; temporary structures and infrastructure; audiovisual, broadcast and communications; utilities and power; sanitation and waste management; medical, safety and fire services; and accessibility and inclusion services. Suppliers can be called off through further competition (for larger or complex projects), below threshold procurements, or direct award. The framework uses standardized call-off templates to streamline procurement between suppliers and contracting authorities. This opportunity supports innovation in the UK events sector and opens government supply chains to a broader range of suppliers, while ensuring high-quality, safe, and reliable event delivery. For details on the previous framework, see https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077997-2025
