UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education commissioned event services for the UK-US Fulbright Commission’s Summer Reception. The requirement was to organise an event for the reception; the published scope does not describe further services or event specifications. The buying organisation is the Department for Education, a central government department. The supplier is based in London, but the data does not establish the event venue or delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Department for Education used a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. The Royal Society was awarded the contract. It was signed on 25 May 2026, with a contract period from 2 June to 16 July 2026. The contract value is £10,677 excluding VAT and £12,812.40 including VAT. The award is active. No award criteria or evaluation basis are recorded in the supplied details.

For suppliers tracking this buyer’s event requirements, this award demonstrates demand for event services for a UK-US Fulbright Commission reception, delivered through a limited competition. The Royal Society, a large organisation, was selected. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need to show it can organise an event of this kind and meet the buyer’s event needs. The available scope does not identify specific venue, catering, production, staffing, accreditation or other technical requirements, so this award does not establish that any particular specialism or qualification was decisive.
