Summary of the contracting process

Student Loans Company Limited (SLC) procured event management services for its training seminars across England, Scotland and Wales. The requirement covers end-to-end planning and delivery, including liaison with SLC, finding and managing venues, delegate management, on-site event delivery and post-event work. It also includes production services, webinars, a delegate management system, storage and maintenance of training event assets, filming, photography and promotion. This is a broad events service combining operational event management with production and digital support, rather than a venue-only or equipment-only requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to OneTwo Agency Limited on 23 September 2024. It was run as a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 31 July 2024. The award value is £741,000, compared with an estimated tender value of £150,000. The contract runs from 1 November 2024 to 31 October 2027. The requirement was treated as a services contract and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published outcome identifies the winning supplier, but provides no evaluation criteria or scoring basis.

For event agencies and production suppliers, this award demonstrates demand from SLC for a single provider able to coordinate training seminars across England, Scotland and Wales, rather than deliver only one element such as venue hire or filming. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to combine client and venue liaison, delegate administration, on-site delivery and post-event support with webinar production, filming, photography and promotion. The need to store and maintain training event assets also favours suppliers able to manage equipment and event materials between engagements. The selected provider was an SME, and the opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that this scale of integrated service was not reserved solely for large suppliers. Delivered performance would need to demonstrate dependable coordination across the full event lifecycle.
