Details

The Event Management and Delivery Framework 1 (EMF1) is a multi-supplier framework agreement. It was established by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to provide event management and delivery services.

The framework gives contracting authorities access to specialist suppliers across five lots. These cover public-facing events, indoor events, third-party events, smaller-scale events and crowd assurance services.

Eligible contracting authorities can use the framework to procure event management and delivery services through further competition, under the framework terms.

For information on how to buy through the framework, refer to the Event Management Framework 1: buyer guide and the relevant call-off documentation.
