Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Venue Solutions," initiated by OFSTED, pertains to the provision of venue finding services for meetings and falls under the industry category of hotel meeting and conference services (CPV code: 55120000). This contract, valued at £2,570,000, was awarded on 3rd August 2018, with the contract period commencing on 10th August 2018 and concluding on 28th February 2021. The procurement method was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement established by Crown Commercial Services Public Sector Travel & Venue Solutions RM6016, specifically Lot 5. The contract covers delivery locations in the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the UK.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in venue finding and conference management services to engage with a prominent public sector organisation. Given the scale of the award and the ongoing nature of the contract until early 2021, companies that possess experience in managing corporate events and have a reliable network of venues are well-positioned to compete for future contracts of a similar nature. Additionally, organisations with a track record of servicing large public sector clients would find this opportunity particularly advantageous.
