UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involving the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) pertains to the contract for the "Conference Venue 2026 for the Euro-Asia Consular Network in Vienna." This process was initiated to organise a venue for the annual conference by the British Embassy in The Hague, hosted in Vienna, Austria. The procurement, classified under the services category with a primary focus on event services, concluded with the award of the contract to Renaissance Vienna Schönbrunn Hotel. The procurement was conducted using a limited method with a below-threshold limited competition, which was fully completed as of 27 May 2026. The contract period runs from 30 November 2026 to 3 December 2026, with a total value of £37,798.98.

This tender represents substantial business growth opportunities within the events and hospitality industry. Particularly, it appeals to large-scale service providers capable of hosting significant diplomatic conferences. Businesses with robust event management capabilities that can cater to large gatherings and deliver hospitality services in a high-profile international setting are well-suited for such opportunities. The successful engagement with a central government authority, such as the FCDO, could enhance a supplier's profile and open avenues for similar high-calibre contracts in the future.
