Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has awarded a contract to The Henderson for the "KBP Venue Hire British Consulate General Hong Kong" project. The procurement process is now in the award stage, with a contract signed on 3rd October 2025 for venue hire services, specifically for the British Consulate General in Hong Kong's annual King's Birthday Party event. The procurement method was 'limited,' indicating a below-threshold competition. The total value of the contract is £62,493.77, with the contract period spanning from 12th to 30th November 2025. The project falls under the industry category of hotel services, with a specific CPV classification of 55100000.

This procurement opportunity presents substantial potential for growth for businesses specialising in venue hire and hospitality services, particularly within the events sector. Companies with experience hosting large-scale, high-profile events would be well-suited to compete for similar future tenders involving government or consulate functions. While a large-scale business was successful in this instance, smaller firms might also find opportunities to partner or subcontract in similar government projects, enhancing their portfolios and increasing market recognition.
