Summary of the contracting process

The Serious Fraud Office recently completed the awarding stage of a procurement process for a room hire agreement at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre, a government-owned facility in London. The tender, classified under the CPV code 55120000 for hotel meeting and conference services, was concluded on 9th April 2025. Notably, the procurement adopted a direct award method, assigning the contract to the Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Activities Centre. The contract value stands at £24,000, encompassing a service delivery scheduled for 4th November 2025.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in conference and event management services, particularly those capable of accommodating government requirements. Though the direct award process limits competition to selected suppliers, understanding such a market could position businesses to prepare for similar future procurement methods. Companies of a scale capable of fulfilling large government contracts and capable of providing specialised services akin to those identified in this procurement would be well-suited for participation in analogous opportunities.
