UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Open University, a sub-central government public authority based in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for accommodation services needed for the FIFA Guardians Event. The procurement method used was direct and conducted below the competitive threshold, highlighting a streamlined approach for urgent or specialised services. The awarded contract, valued at £41,795, was signed on the 1st of April 2025, with the contract period spanning from the 27th of May 2025 to the 6th of June 2025. The services fall under the industry category of Hotel meeting and conference services, providing a critical venue for the event in the UKJ12 region of the United Kingdom.

This tender creates valuable business opportunities specifically for businesses in the hospitality industry, particularly those able to provide hotel meeting and conference services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that offer specialised accommodation solutions and can meet specific event requirements would find this type of tender beneficial for business growth. The non-competitive, direct nature of the procurement process also indicates that specialised or niche providers may have a significant advantage, presenting an opportunity for such businesses to establish or strengthen relationships with large public institutions like The Open University.
