## Summary

The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew sought a venue for the "RBGKEW1355 Kew Science Away Day 2024," targeting the industry category of other community, social and personal services. The venue required a lecture theatre with a seating capacity of over 400 people to facilitate engagement with their staff, facilities, and collections. This procurement, which used a direct procurement method through a single tender action (below threshold), concluded with an award to The Royal Institution Of Great Britain, located at 21 Albemarle Street, W1S 4BS. Key dates include the tender period ending on 30th September 2024 and the contract period scheduled for 5th November 2024, with the contract valued at £34,656. The procurement stage is currently at the Award stage, with details published on 7th November 2024.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities, especially for businesses involved in venue management and those that support large scientific or community-focused events. The specified requirements suggest that companies with large lecture theatre facilities, particularly those associated with science and research, would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Additionally, the procurement strategy that favours small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) highlights the potential for smaller, community-focused businesses to engage and benefit from such public procurement processes.

## Notice
