UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office bought venue hire and catering for the King’s Birthday Party hosted by the British Consulate General in Hong Kong. The requirement covers a suitable event venue and the provision of catering for the celebration. It is a hospitality services requirement combining food service with hotel, meeting or conference venue services. The work is for a single consular event in Hong Kong, rather than an ongoing catering or venue arrangement. The buyer is the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, with the British Consulate General Hong Kong as the event location and beneficiary.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to The Henderson Hospitality Limited. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026, with a contract period from 15 October to 30 November 2026. Its value is £96,377.65. The requirement was run as a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot covering the combined venue and catering services. The contract is active. The purchase was for a King’s Birthday Party planned for November 2026. The available process information does not state the evaluation criteria used to select the supplier.

For hospitality businesses, this award demonstrates demand from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office for a turnkey event package in Hong Kong: an appropriate venue together with catering for a formal consular celebration. A credible competitor would need to deliver both elements reliably, coordinate venue and food service around a fixed event, and operate at a scale suited to a substantial official reception. Local venue access, event operations capability and experience serving formal institutional or diplomatic functions would be commercially relevant. The buyer used a limited competition below the applicable threshold, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be prepared to compete through a restricted approach rather than assume an open tender. The award indicates a single-event requirement, not a continuing service.
