Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has completed a procurement process titled "The Provision of the Sourcing and Booking of Meeting Rooms and Conference Venues," which was initiated to establish a framework for sourcing meeting spaces across Scotland, the UK, Ireland, and overseas. The procurement method followed was an open procedure, and the total contract value is £16,000,000. The initial tender period closed on June 3, 2019, and this contract will serve various public entities, including governmental departments and local authorities, primarily located in Edinburgh, UK.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in venue management and event coordination, particularly those with experience in handling public sector contracts. Suppliers such as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) could leverage this framework to provide their services, as demonstrated by the three bids received, all of which were from SMEs. This initiative not only aims to enhance service offerings for government entities but also encourages competition amongst quality service providers in the meetings and events sector.
