Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Halton Borough Council, a regional authority based in Widnes, focuses on "Emergency Planning - Accommodation & Travel" under the industry category of hotel accommodation services (CPV code: 55110000). This procurement, specifically located in the region of UKD71, involves a direct award without a prior call for competition due to its specific requirements, which fall outside the scope of the usual directives. The contract was awarded to Calder Conferences and was completed on 25th June 2026. The procurement stage is labelled as complete, and the contract is marked as active with a minimal value, indicating a strategic procurement process tailored to specific needs.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in providing accommodation services, particularly those that can offer tailored solutions for emergency planning purposes. Large-scale suppliers, like Calder Conferences, already servicing this contract, show the potential for similar companies to leverage their capabilities in similar future procurements. Organisations skilled in rapid response accommodation provision and those within the UKD71 area are particularly well-suited to compete for such tenders, given the scope and nature of the procurement method employed by Halton Borough Council.
