UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Exeter procured hotel meeting and conference services for a group meeting in Exeter. The requirement was a conference for 200 delegates, including a full conference package, dinner and accommodation. The buyer is the University of Exeter, a public authority based in Exeter. The selected venue and supplier are in Ratchathewi, Bangkok, Thailand, indicating that delivery of the conference arrangements is associated with that location. This is a substantial hospitality and events requirement combining venue provision, conference facilities, catering and overnight accommodation for a defined delegate group. Businesses operating hotels, conference venues or integrated event services may find the requirement relevant, particularly where they can provide these elements as one coordinated package.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Kamkoong Property Co., Ltd. The award is active and the contract is also active. The contract was signed on 4 February 2026, runs from 4 February 2026 to 26 November 2026, and is worth £73,793.18 gross. The procurement used a below-threshold procedure described as “unknown”. It was managed as one completed lot. The award covers hotel meeting and conference services. The requirement was evaluated through the procurement process that resulted in Kamkoong Property Co., Ltd. being selected, but the published outcome does not state the award criteria. The contract concerns arrangements for the University of Exeter’s 200-delegate conference, including the conference package, dinner and accommodation.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the University of Exeter for an integrated conference and hospitality package rather than a standalone meeting room. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to provide capacity for around 200 delegates, suitable meeting and conference facilities, accommodation, dinner and the wider services needed to coordinate these elements. The requirement is best suited to a hotel, conference venue or events operator able to deliver venue, catering and accommodation through one coordinated service. Experience of managing group conferences and reliable delivery across several connected hospitality services would strengthen a supplier’s position. Businesses should also be prepared to compete through a below-threshold procurement route and to demonstrate that their venue and operating model can support a substantial organised event.
