Summary of the contracting process

The Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust sought a hotel venue to host a Finance Directors Conference. This procurement process was assigned the ID FSD0033. The event aimed to secure services in the event category and took place in the locality of Warrington, UK, specifically targeting a contract period of three years with an optional extension to a fourth year. The original tender was issued on 30th March 2026, with a deadline for submissions on 24th April 2026. The procurement method was an open procedure, allowing electronic submissions via the Atamis portal, highlighting transparency and broad accessibility for tender participants.

This tender presented opportunities for businesses in the hospitality and event management industries to expand their influence by supporting a high-profile healthcare-related conference. Ideal candidates were hotel venues capable of accommodating an annual two-day event. Businesses that could demonstrate technical proficiency and competitive pricing were particularly well-suited to partake, as evaluation criteria awarded a 60% technical and 40% financial weighting. Although the process was later cancelled due to strategic and financial shifts, such invitations to tender are valuable prospect pathways for relevant firms seeking growth through engagement with public sector clients.
