## Summary

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office is currently conducting a tender for an Event Management Contractor for the InspireMe Festival, which will take place in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. This initiative is part of a series of events celebrating 45 years of diplomatic relations between the UK and Vietnam, and it is anticipated that over 500,000 attendees will participate, with millions more accessing coverage through television. The tender period closes on 23rd August 2018, with the contract commencing on 1st September 2018 and concluding on 4th November 2018. The procurement method is open, characterised as an open procedure below the threshold, falling under the category of communication and related services.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in event management, logistical support, and promotional services, particularly those looking to expand their presence in Southeast Asia. Companies that can effectively manage large-scale events, engage audiences, and ensure high-quality service delivery would be well-suited to compete. The ambitious nature of the festival underscores the potential for substantial exposure and collaboration with UK and Vietnamese stakeholders, paving the way for further business growth.
