UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade procured venue booking and event services at One Great George Street in Westminster, London. The requirement was for the department’s venue use, with the contracted service delivered in the UK. One Great George Street is both the venue and the selected supplier. The procurement covers a single lot and is categorised as services, specifically event services. This is a venue-based requirement rather than a purchase of equipment or construction work, and its scope centres on arranging use of the named London venue for the department.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Department for Business & Trade awarded the single-lot contract directly to One Great George Street, without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The award date is not recorded. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and covers 1–2 October 2026. Its value is £18,475 excluding VAT (£22,170 including VAT). No evaluation criteria or separate eligibility requirements are recorded for this direct award.

For suppliers considering similar venue requirements from the Department for Business & Trade, this award demonstrates demand for event and venue services at a specific central London location. A credible competitor would need access to a suitable Westminster venue and the ability to arrange bookings for departmental events. The incumbent supplier is the venue itself, so competing providers would need to offer a comparable setting and deliver the associated event-service arrangements. This was a small, short-duration booking awarded directly without competition, rather than a large or multi-site service contract. The selection provides evidence of the buyer’s preference in this instance, but does not establish requirements for future purchases.
