Summary of the contracting process

Satellite Applications Catapult Limited procured an event management tool and associated services. The requirement is a fully integrated platform for managing events and engaging attendees across virtual, hybrid and in-person formats. It covers event activity delivered in the United Kingdom and is categorised as marketing services (CPV 79342000). The buyer is Satellite Applications Catapult Limited, a public undertaking based in Didcot. The opportunity would suit businesses supplying event technology, attendee-management software or integrated event services that can support different event formats through one platform. Relevant suppliers may include providers with experience serving organisations that run a mixture of online, physical and combined events, and that can align event administration with attendee engagement and marketing activity.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to CVENT EUROPE LTD. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 26 June 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 October 2028. Its value is £27,343.55 excluding VAT, or £32,812.26 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies CVENT EUROPE LTD as the supplier for the event management tool and related services. The recorded procurement category is services, and the awarded requirement relates to marketing services delivered in the United Kingdom. No award date or evaluation weighting is recorded in the procurement outcome.

This completed procurement demonstrates demand from Satellite Applications Catapult Limited for an integrated event management and attendee engagement platform covering virtual, hybrid and in-person events. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a mature platform that supports the full event lifecycle rather than a single event function, including registration or attendee management, engagement features and delivery across online and physical settings. Experience coordinating hybrid events would be particularly relevant, as would the ability to provide a consistent service for different event formats. Suppliers should be able to explain how their technology supports marketing-led event activity, integrates the necessary functions and can be delivered reliably for a UK public undertaking. The requirement is suitable for established event technology or event services providers.
