UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade commissioned the British Beauty Council to design and deliver one integrated programme of international and domestic trade engagement for the UK beauty and personal care sector. The work combines trade engagement in the UK with international activity, with event services forming part of the requirement. The programme is sector-led and intended to support trade across beauty and personal care. The contracting information identifies London as the buyer’s location; it does not state where the programme’s activities are to take place.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to the British Beauty Council through a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award is active, and the contract is also active. It was signed on 5 October 2026, with a contract period from 5 to 12 October 2026. The contract value is £10,000 excluding VAT (£12,000 including VAT). The requirement was for a single integrated programme, organised as one lot. No separate evaluation criteria are recorded; the procurement was awarded directly rather than through a competitive assessment.

The award shows that the Department for Business & Trade buys specialist, sector-led support to deliver joined-up domestic and international trade engagement for the UK beauty and personal care sector, including event services. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate sector knowledge and the ability to design and deliver a coherent programme spanning both UK and international trade activity. Experience coordinating relevant events and engaging businesses or other stakeholders across the beauty and personal care sector would be commercially pertinent. The buyer selected a sector organisation through a direct award in this instance, so a supplier seeking to compete if the requirement returns would need to show how its expertise and delivery capability meet that focused sector need.
