About
Procurement infrastructure, not a directory with a form on it
Source, compare, approve, order and hand off event services in one controlled workflow.
What we are building
Event buying is fragmented. Requirements go out inconsistently, quotes come back in incompatible formats, approvals happen in inboxes, and the procurement record never becomes a delivery record. The waste is obvious; the commercial risk is the part that hurts.
Procurevent's defensible value is not supplier discovery. It is the system of record around requirement definition, supplier eligibility, transparent commercial comparison, decision governance, and the transition from award into event delivery. Those are the parts nobody has a good tool for.
Where we are starting
Complex event procurement in Hungary and Central Europe, in the production categories where structured sourcing is hardest and the stakes are highest — audio visual, staging and rigging, temporary infrastructure, branding and signage, security and staffing, logistics, and catering.
The launch model is buyer-backed. We onboard a small number of anchor buyers, import the supplier panels they already trust, and run real sourcing rounds — rather than building a directory and hoping demand appears. Suppliers are invited against actual opportunities, because a portal full of profiles with no live requests wastes everybody's time.
Principles
How we decide what to build
These are the rules we return to when a design decision is genuinely difficult. They are also the ones we expect to be held to.
Buyer-defined requirements
Suppliers should respond to a structured brief, not interpret fragmented emails. The buyer defines the requirement once.
Comparable offers
Price alone is not a decision. Scope, exclusions, options, terms, availability and compliance all have to be comparable.
Progressive disclosure
A small request should not meet enterprise procurement machinery. Controls appear as value, risk and complexity increase.
Supplier respect
Clear scope, clear deadlines, bid privacy, visible status and a real outcome. Suppliers carry enough unpaid admin already.
Operations continuity
An award must produce a usable delivery record. No re-keying from the procurement record into event operations.
Auditability by design
Every material change, approval, invitation, submission, evaluation and award must be reconstructable afterwards.
European readiness
Languages, currencies, VAT context, differing document requirements and cross-border suppliers, handled from the outset.
No false legal promise
Commercial workflow support is not legal advice, and it is not statutory public procurement compliance. We keep that line visible.
Connected to event.clinic
Built on a shared data spine
Procurevent mirrors event.clinic's public directory — venues with their spaces and capacities, published catalogue products, and company profiles that have opted in. One shared vocabulary means a venue does not have to be described twice.
Mirrored, not proxied
An award must not change under its own audit trail. A live read would let an upstream edit silently rewrite what was awarded.
Availability stays independent
event.clinic being unavailable must never stop a Procurevent buyer from opening a request that merely mentions a venue.
Buyers enrich the record
Panel status, internal notes and private terms have no upstream home. They live in your workspace and are never written back.
Run your next event sourcing round in one place
We are onboarding a small number of design partner buyers and their existing supplier panels. If you buy event services regularly, a pilot starts with one real request.
