Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) procured venue booking for a staff event in Manchester. The requirement is an event service, with delivery associated with NICE’s Manchester address.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Manchester Oxford Street Hotel Opco Ltd. NICE used a direct single-tender action below the procurement threshold. The award was made on 16 January 2026, for £36,000. The contract period runs from 15 to 16 November 2026. The tender response deadline was 15 January 2026. The recorded requirement is a venue booking; no lots or evaluation criteria are stated.

This award demonstrates NICE’s demand for venue booking for a staff event in Manchester. Suppliers best placed to compete when this specific requirement returns to market are venue or hotel operators able to provide suitable event space in Manchester and deliver staff-event bookings. The award went to a hotel operator through a direct single-tender route, so businesses should recognise that this procurement was not run as an open competition.
