## Summary

The public procurement process by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) involves a completed call-off contract for venue find services focused on hotel meeting and conference arrangements. The DHSC, located at 39 Victoria Street, Westminster, United Kingdom, initiated this tender process using a selective procurement method drawn from a framework agreement. This service-oriented contract, categorised under CPV code 55120000, encompasses a minimum value of £1,000,000 and was awarded for £4,000,000. The contract runs from 23rd May 2026 to 22nd May 2027, providing services across the United Kingdom for meetings, conferences, and events.

This tender presents growth opportunities predominantly for SMEs, given its suitability for small and medium enterprises rather than VCSEs. The procurement method and substantial contract value make it particularly suitable for organisations specialising in hotel meeting and conference services, such as independent venue finders and event management companies. Businesses in the hospitality and event sector can leverage this contract to expand their portfolio and enhance their service capabilities in the public sector. The successful award was secured by Calder Conferences Limited, suggesting avenues for similar companies to engage in public procurement contracts aiming at venue sourcing services.
