Summary of the contracting process

Social Security Scotland, acting for Scottish Ministers, procured executive team event services. The requirement is to establish a contract for organising and delivering events for the organisation’s executive team. This is a services opportunity in the event management and event production market, classified under CPV 79952000, event services. The buying organisation is Social Security Scotland, based in Dundee. The procurement concerns services for Social Security Scotland rather than general event provision across the wider Scottish Government. Relevant suppliers are likely to include event agencies, conference and corporate event organisers, and production companies able to plan and deliver executive-level team events for a public sector client.

The procurement has reached the award stage: YNG Media Group Ltd operating as Speakeasy Productions was selected as supplier. The award value is £49,999. The contract is recorded as active and was signed on 8 November 2026. Two bids were recorded. The requirement was evaluated through a tender process, but the available outcome does not state the procurement method, award criteria, tender deadline or contract duration. The awarded scope is the provision of executive team event services for Scottish Ministers acting through Social Security Scotland. This is a single recorded award to one supplier; the published award value should not be treated as a wider programme or framework total.

For a supplier that did not win, this award confirms demand from Social Security Scotland for executive team event services at a scale suited to an established specialist agency or production company. A credible competitor would need to show that it can manage the complete event requirement for a public sector executive audience, combining event planning, coordination, supplier management and delivery. Experience of producing polished corporate or leadership events would be directly relevant, as would the capacity to handle public sector governance, clear communications, reliable logistics and professional stakeholder management. The selected supplier’s event-focused profile indicates that Social Security Scotland values a provider able to turn an organisational requirement into a managed, delivered event service.
