The Events Planning, Delivery
and Related Services agreement (RM1049) has been awarded and will go live in
early June 2014 for a term of two years with the option to extend for a further
two one-year periods.
The new agreement supports the
new centralised approach to communications and comprises of two
lots:
- Lot 1 - Event Planning,
Management and Delivery Services
- Lot 2 - Audio Visual (AV)
Equipment, Services, Design and Integration
Making the most of public
sector’s buying power, the agreement provides customers with a simplified
access model and reduced supply base providing a platform to work strategically
with new and different suppliers to drive greater savings. It is estimated that
the new agreement will deliver savings of up to £1 million a year for the
taxpayer, whilst maximising the quality of innovative work offered by
suppliers.
Crown Commercial Service Chief
Executive, Sally Collier commented: “I am delighted to confirm the award
of the Events agreement. This is a fundamental part of the vision set out in
this year's Government Communications Plan to work together across the
public sector and spend taxpayers' money responsibly. It's also great
news for a diverse and vibrant supply base with 89%
SMEs."
