Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sport England procured venue-hire services. The stated requirement is simply venue hire, without a more detailed breakdown of the venues or services involved. Delivery locations are described broadly across the United Kingdom and internationally, including Europe and the rest of the world. Sport England is the buying organisation.

The procurement is complete and Calder Conferences Limited was awarded the contract. The award date was 15 July 2026. The awarded value is £965,000. The contract period runs from 10 September 2026 to 9 October 2028. The tender deadline was 15 July 2026 at 12:00. The process was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement value and award value are both £965,000.

This award demonstrates Sport England’s demand for venue-hire services delivered across a broad UK and international footprint. Calder Conferences Limited, a large supplier, was selected through a framework call-off. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need to provide venue-hire services and be positioned to deliver across that geographic scope through the relevant framework route. The procurement sets out no specific accreditations, capacity thresholds or experience requirements, so these cannot be identified as conditions for being a credible competitor.
