Summary of the contracting process

The VCA - Vehicle Certification Agency, based in Bristol, England, has completed the procurement process for venue hire services, which includes venue finding and supporting services for meetings, conferences, and events. This tender falls under the industry category of event services and covers a broad geographic scope, including the United Kingdom, Europe, and beyond. The procurement method utilised was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, and the process is now in the award stage, having been finalised with an award date of 27th June 2025. The contract period extends from 27th June 2025 to 28th February 2027.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of venue hire and event services, particularly those that can offer tailored solutions to diverse locations.
