Summary of the contracting process

The Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust recently completed a procurement process for hiring a venue for the annual North of England Chief Pharmacists' meeting. The tender, identified by the title "WT25-075 Venue for the annual North of England Chief Pharmacists," falls under the 'services' industry category, specifically event services. The procurement was straightforward, conducted via direct method without competition, considering it's below the threshold for competitive bidding. This process has reached the contract award stage, indicating completion with the venue located at the Castle Green Hotel in Kendal, United Kingdom. The contract period spanned from 2nd October 2025 to 2nd November 2025, with a gross contract value of £14,328.99. The buyer, a public authority under the central government, oversaw this operation to align with legislative demands.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in event planning and venue provision services. While the procurement method in this instance was direct, indicating minimal competition, similar future opportunities may arise that could benefit businesses offering services to the healthcare or public sector events, particularly those catering to professional audiences like pharmacists. Large-scale venues with the capability to host regional or national gatherings would find themselves well-suited to compete for such tenders, especially if they can offer competitive pricing and flexible service offerings. Engaging with the Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and similar healthcare entities may open further avenues for consistent business growth and development within the public procurement space.
