The Department for Culture, Media and Sport, located at 100 Parliament Street, London, has awarded a contract for the "Civil Society Summit" under the services category, specifically related to event services. The procurement process is complete, having progressed through a direct method without competition, as it was below the threshold. The awarded contract, for venue hire at the Science Museum, with SCMG Enterprises Limited, covered the period from 16th July to 17th July 2025. The key details, including the contract signing date of 10th July 2025, showcase the completed status of this procurement.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in event services, particularly those able to accommodate large-scale functions and deliver in high-profile venues like the Science Museum. While this specific contract was awarded without competitive tendering, similar opportunities could suit event-management firms looking for collaborations with government departments.
