Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the World Telecommunication Development Conference's hospitality catering services in Baku has been completed. The buying organisation, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology of the UK, arranged for direct award procurement for the provision of catering services during the event, which took place from 17th to 28th November 2025. Classified under the "Catering services" industry category (CPV code 55520000), this contract was valued at £8,899.93. The award stage was finalized and published on 9th December 2025, following the initial award date of 14th November 2025.

This tender represented a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in catering services, especially those able to provide comprehensive service delivery across international locations. Although the procurement method chosen was a direct award, indicating it may have been tailored for a specific supplier, the involvement of "ONVEIV' LLC" suggests that businesses with a proven track record in hospitality might have similar opportunities in future tenders. The project did not specify suitability preferences for SMEs or VCSEs, indicating a broader competitive landscape without constraints concerning the supplier's size or charitable status. Businesses establishing a presence in high-profile international events can leverage such contracts to expand their portfolio and credibility in the industry.
