UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade procured venue services for its Europe All Staff Conference 2026. The requirement covered an event venue in The Hague, Netherlands, for the department’s staff conference. The procurement was categorised as event services. The buyer is a central government department based in London, while delivery was at the conference venue in The Hague. The requirement was for a single venue rather than a multi-lot programme, and was intended to support the department’s Europe-wide staff event. Businesses relevant to this requirement include conference venues and event service providers able to host and support staff conferences in The Hague.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier was selected: Nieuwe Kerk The Hague (NKDH BV). The award was made on 16 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs for one day, 23 September 2026, with a value of £60,000 excluding VAT and £72,000 including VAT. The contract includes an option to add additional attendees. The selected supplier is an SME. The procurement comprised one completed lot, covering the conference venue requirement, and the contract is active.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Business & Trade for a substantial, centrally managed staff conference venue in The Hague. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be established venues or event service businesses with suitable conference facilities, experience hosting government or corporate staff events, and the operational capacity to support a large international organisation. Credibility would also depend on being able to manage venue delivery in The Hague, coordinate event arrangements through a limited competition, accommodate changes in attendee numbers, and provide a professional service for a single-day conference. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can suit a specialist venue business as well as a large events company.
