Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council commissioned event management and reporting services. The published scope is identified only at this broad level, with no further description of the events, delivery activities or reporting outputs. Work is associated with Chichester, West Sussex, based on the listed delivery postcode. Although the procurement is categorised as services, its recorded classification refers to telecommunications equipment and supplies, which does not align with the stated title. Businesses should therefore treat event management and reporting as the stated requirement, while recognising that the classification does not clarify the detailed service scope.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. THINKPROJECT UK LIMITED was selected on 24 September 2026 for a contract valued at £331,128. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The tender deadline was 17 September 2026 at midday. The estimated procurement value was also £331,128. No lots or evaluation criteria are recorded, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be summarised. The process identifies a single awarded supplier and a three-year contract period.

This award shows that West Sussex County Council buys event management and reporting as a defined service through a framework call-off. A business considering similar work for this buyer would need to demonstrate capability in managing events and producing clear, reliable reporting, although the published scope does not define event types, outputs or service standards. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, and the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller businesses were eligible to compete. Credible competitors would need to show they can deliver the council’s event-management and reporting requirement at a sustained, multi-year scale and meet the framework’s call-off requirements. The award provides a relevant example of the buyer’s purchasing route and chosen supplier profile.
