Alexandra Palace

The Venue

Alexandra Palace is an iconic north London destination that delivers a year-round programme of gigs, theatre, sports and exhibitions, as well offering a 196-acre park, ice rink and creative learning projects for the community.

Alexandra Palace was built as the 'People's Palace' over 140 years ago and today is run by a charity, for the benefit of everyone.

The seven acre Palace is surrounded by 196 acres of beautiful, award-winning parkland, and grounds that boast a bar and kitchen, boating lake and pitch & putt golf course, plus spectacular views across London.

Our Work

Rockvolt were appointed by the Alexandra Palace management team to review their cleaning and waste management services. The outcome of this process led to a decision to put these services out to market via a formal procurement process by Invitation To Tender.

To make the process easy for the busy Alexandra Palace team, we took accountability for the entire procurement process whilst presenting our findings to their decision makers along the way, enabling them to make an educated decision on their new contractor.
