Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council procured venue hire to support the delivery of speed awareness courses. The requirement is for event venue services, with the course delivery as the purpose of the hire. The procurement covered one lot. The supplier selected, Ayton House Ltd, is based in Wymondham, Norfolk; this is the supplier’s address, rather than a stated delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Ayton House Ltd. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £38,000 excluding VAT (£45,600 including VAT). The procurement was described as below threshold; the specific method is recorded as unknown. The process had one lot, which is complete. No award date or evaluation criteria are stated in the available details.

This award shows that Norfolk County Council buys venue hire for speed awareness course delivery. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide suitable event space and support the practical delivery of these courses. Ayton House Ltd, a small business based in Wymondham, was selected, demonstrating that a local SME can deliver this type of service. The requirement is a focused venue-hire contract rather than a broad programme of event services.
