Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Commercial Service, based in Liverpool, has concluded the procurement process for the Provision of Corporate Contact Venue Hire under the CPV classification of Travel Services. The procurement method was selective, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period spans from 1st February 2023 to 31st January 2027, with Calder Conferences Limited awarded a contract valued at £18,000,000 to provide a fully managed venue booking service. This procurement was initiated through a tender process, with the contract award initially published on 18th January 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in venue management and travel services to expand their service offerings within the United Kingdom. It is particularly well-suited to medium to large enterprises, given the contract's value and scope. Although the suitability criteria indicate a preference for larger organisations over SMEs and VCSEs, companies capable of providing comprehensive venue management solutions are well-positioned to pursue such opportunities. The contract could lead to long-term relationships and stability within the public procurement space, facilitating growth and innovation in service provision.
