Summary of the contracting process

The Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust has completed a procurement process for the hire of a venue to host its Nursing & Midwifery Conferences for the 2025/26 period. The contracting authority is a central government public authority based in Nottingham, UK. These conferences, which are part of a broader initiative to support the professional development of nursing and midwifery staff, necessitated an external venue due to capacity constraints. The tender process, conducted as a below-threshold open competition, culminated in the award of the contract to Village Hotel And Leisure Club located in Warrington. The contract, valued at £40,000 with a gross amount of £48,000, runs from 1st July 2025 to 31st March 2026, focusing on services within the hotel meeting and conference space sector.

This procurement represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in hospitality and conference services. Enterprises capable of offering suitably large facilities for professional development events could find such tenders an ideal opportunity to engage with public sector organisations. Businesses in the events management and venue provision industries, particularly those with expertise in servicing healthcare or educational conferences, would be well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities. This contract with Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust highlights the potential for growth by meeting the dynamic needs of the public sector, especially in the training and development domain.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Venue Hire for Nursing & Midwifery Conferences 2025/26

Notice Description

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust has awarded a contract for Venue Hire for its annual nursing & midwifery conferences. The Trust requires a Supplier to provide external venue hire services to facilitate continuing professional development events for Nursing & Midwifery staff. These events are part of a Trust wide programme. On-site facilities were explored, however, the need for external venue was identified due to the significant number of delegates for half a dozen events as the existing on-site venues did not meet the required capacity. To enable the professional development opportunities to proceed, the Trust has entered into a contract with Village Hotels Limited. The procurement process for this contract was a below-threshold open competition, in which quotes were requested. The Supplier will be responsible for providing the necessary facilities to host the required conferences, supporting the ongoing education and training of the Trust's staff.
