UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice purchased attendance at the QCon software conference for its Justice Digital data and science employees. This is a professional development and conference attendance service for staff working in digital, data and science roles. The named supplier is C4 Media Inc. The procurement describes attendance for employees rather than conference production or broader training delivery; the service is therefore relevant to providers arranging or supplying access to software and technology conferences for public-sector teams. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Justice, a central government department. The conference venue or delivery location is not identified in the published procurement details.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to C4 Media Inc. The Ministry of Justice used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and runs from 13 to 15 April 2027. Its value is £51,750 excluding VAT and £62,100 including VAT. The procurement has one lot, covering conference attendance. No evaluation criteria or competitive assessment are recorded; the award followed the stated non-competitive route.

For suppliers serving government digital and technology teams, this award demonstrates demand for staff attendance at specialist software conferences as a focused professional development purchase. A credible competitor would need to arrange suitable conference access for employees whose work spans digital services, data and science, and to show that the event’s content is relevant to those professional disciplines. Providers with established access to recognised software-sector conferences, the ability to coordinate attendance for a public-sector team, and experience handling government purchasing requirements would be well placed. The buyer chose a direct award rather than a competition for this purchase, so a supplier seeking comparable future work would also need to understand how the Ministry of Justice identifies and procures conference attendance requirements.
