Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to procure services for the North West Finance Directors Conference by hiring a hotel venue through an open procedure. The tender process, which is at the active stage, requires potential bidders to submit necessary information and register with Atamis. This contract, valued at £160,000 gross, is above threshold and seeks event service providers under the CPV code 79952000. Interested parties should note that the tender submission deadline is set for 25th March 2026, with the award decision to be finalised by 27th April 2026. The conference venue will be secured for a three-year duration, with an option for a one-year extension based on satisfactory contract completion.
