Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham commissioned an innovation-focused conference supporting Upstream London, the second phase of its industrial strategy for inclusive economic growth. The requirement covers conference, exhibition, fair and congress organisation services, including the production and delivery of the event. The work is associated with the council’s economic development agenda and is to be delivered in London, including the council’s area around W6 9JU. This is a services opportunity for conference producers, event-management companies, exhibition organisers and related delivery partners able to manage an innovation-led public-sector event. The buyer is the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, based at Town Hall on King Street in London. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The contract was awarded on 6 July 2026 to MATRIX SCM LTD. The award value is £200,000. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 30 January 2027. The submission deadline was 6 July 2026 at 5pm. The route was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone tender. The requirement was evaluated through that framework call-off process; the published information does not set out separate price, quality or scoring weightings. The procurement has one overall requirement for the conference organisation service, rather than separately described lots. The awarded supplier is a large organisation. The tender’s status is complete and the award remains active.

This award shows established demand from Hammersmith & Fulham for specialist conference production supporting inclusive economic growth and innovation policy. Suppliers considering comparable future work for this buyer would need to demonstrate credible end-to-end event-management capability: shaping an innovation-focused programme, coordinating speakers and stakeholders, managing venues and suppliers, and delivering a polished conference or exhibition experience. Experience of public-sector or economic-development events would help a business show that it can work within council objectives and communicate with varied professional audiences. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so smaller event producers may be credible where they can evidence sufficient delivery capacity, reliable subcontractor and supplier management, and the ability to handle a substantial single event brief. Framework access or a route into the relevant framework would also be commercially important for competing through the same procurement channel.
