Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves UK Shared Business Services Limited as the buying organisation, awarding a contract for the tender titled "UK SBS SSAPS18087." This contract falls under the services industry category, specifically classified as exhibition stands and hotel meeting and conference services. The contract, valued at £50,000, commenced on 22nd August 2018 and will run until 18th February 2019. The procurement method used was a single tender action, which is below the threshold for competitive tendering. Notably, the key tender date concluded on 20th August 2018.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in event management, catering, and audio-visual services, particularly those with experience in handling large-scale events. Although the procurement method indicates a direct award, companies that can demonstrate capability in providing high-quality services in line with the AAAS's preferences may benefit from future opportunities as the UKRI continues its sponsorship at significant events. Since the contract specifically utilises preferred suppliers, businesses well-established in this niche are positioned to leverage this relationship for growth and collaboration.

Notice Information

Notice Title

UK SBS SSAPS18087

Notice Description

Overview UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has agreed, based on evaluation of the 2015-2018 events, to sponsor for a 5th year the annual International Reception at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) meeting, provided by the AAAS organisation. The sponsorship terms require UKRI to use the AAAS's preferred venue and thus in turn to also use the venue's preferred provider of catering, audio visual and associated services - which prevents UKRI from tendering for these services.
