Summary of the contracting process

The National Audit Office (NAO) has successfully completed a procurement process for the "Public Finance Live 2026" event, focusing on exhibition stand and workshop sponsorship services within the services category. This contract aims to enhance stakeholder engagement and promote NAO's work with public sector finance professionals. Located in the United Kingdom, the contract was awarded on 1st April 2026 and will run from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2027, with a total value of £14,400 inclusive of VAT. The procurement method used was 'Other - Sole Source Supplier', indicating a direct award, with REDACTIVE EVENTS LIMITED serving as the supplier.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the organisation of exhibitions, fairs, and congresses, particularly those with experience in supporting public sector engagement events. Although the procurement was completed using a sole source supplier method, future similar opportunities could benefit businesses focused on public sector collaboration and those that can demonstrate value in promoting stakeholder interaction. Large-scale businesses with robust delivery capabilities are particularly well-suited to such opportunities, especially those in the events management industry aiming to expand their portfolios within the public sector domain.
