UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority procured an events management system: a multifunctional booking and event administration platform for its activities across the United Kingdom. The service is intended to support branded event websites, invitations and mailing lists, email communications, registration processes and event sites with multiple registration pathways. It also covers reporting and data dashboards, payment collection, invoice issuing and on-site event check-in. This is a technology-enabled event services requirement combining information technology, event management and data services. The buyer is the Financial Conduct Authority, based in London, and the selected supplier is Cvent Europe, Ltd., a small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. The single lot was awarded to Cvent Europe, Ltd. The award is active and the contract was signed on 3 August 2026. The contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2027. Its value is £53,068.19 excluding VAT, or £63,681.83 including VAT. The award covered the full events management system service, evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract is active, with the Financial Conduct Authority as buyer and Cvent Europe, Ltd. as the contracted supplier.

For a supplier assessing future demand from the Financial Conduct Authority, this award demonstrates a requirement for a mature, integrated event technology platform rather than a standalone registration tool. Credible competitors would need to provide branded event websites, invitation and mailing-list management, email campaigns, configurable registration journeys and support for complex events with multiple pathways. They would also need reliable reporting and dashboards, payment and invoicing functions, and practical on-site check-in capability. Experience delivering secure information technology and data services alongside event operations would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement spans event delivery and back-office administration, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate an established platform, dependable implementation and capacity to support UK-wide use.
