UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Combined Authority bought conference facilities to support activities led by Oscar Kilo. The requirement is for hotel meeting and conference services, covering the provision of suitable facilities for organised events rather than goods or construction work. Delivery was in North West England. The buying organisation is a sub-central public authority based in Manchester. The same supplier was selected for both awarded packages: Delta Crewe Hall Op Co Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise operating Crewe Hall in Cheshire. The requirement is therefore relevant to hotels, conference venues and event-facilities operators able to host public-sector meetings and conferences in the North West, particularly providers with suitable rooms, hospitality arrangements and operational capacity for scheduled multi-day events.

The procurement is complete and the contracts are active. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. Delta Crewe Hall Op Co Limited was selected for both awards. Contract 1 was signed on 9 August 2026, is worth £11,200 excluding VAT (£13,440 including VAT), and runs from 26 to 29 November 2026. Contract 2 was signed on 22 May 2026, is worth £41,130 excluding VAT (£49,356 including VAT), and runs from 12 to 14 October 2026. Both awards concern hotel meeting and conference services and are recorded against lot 1. The published information identifies the procurement route but does not set out a comparative evaluation basis, scoring model or competitive tender process.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the outcome indicates established demand from Greater Manchester Combined Authority for hotel-based conference facilities supporting Oscar Kilo activities. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need an operational conference venue in North West England, with meeting rooms and hospitality facilities suitable for organised public-sector events. The successful provider was an SME operating a named hotel venue, showing that delivery is not limited to large national facilities-management businesses. Providers should be able to accommodate short, scheduled event periods, manage the practical requirements of conference delegates and deliver a reliable venue service across more than one event booking. Relevant experience in hotel meeting and conference services would strengthen their position when this buyer next sources a similar requirement.
