## Summary

UK Shared Business Services Limited (UKSBS) procured venue-finding and supporting services for meetings, conferences and events. The work covers helping to source venues and related support for these events. It is a services requirement in the event-services category, with delivery across the United Kingdom. This procurement was made through a call-off from an existing travel, transport, accommodation and venue-solutions framework, rather than as a standalone competition. The requirement is relevant to venue-finding agencies and event-services suppliers able to arrange suitable meeting and conference venues and provide the associated support for a public-sector buyer.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Calder Conferences Limited. The award was made on 14 October 2026 for £100,000. The contract runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2027, with an optional extension of up to 12 months at UKSBS’s discretion. The buyer used a selective call-off from the RM6342 framework, under its travel, transport, accommodation and venue-solutions lot. The tender deadline was 14 October 2026. The published award data does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions beyond the framework route. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable for this requirement.

For suppliers who did not win, this award shows that UKSBS buys venue-finding and supporting services for meetings, conferences and events through its established framework route. Credible competitors will need to source venues across the United Kingdom and coordinate the related support required to deliver public-sector events. The selected supplier was a small business, and the buyer considered SMEs suitable, indicating that the requirement was not confined to large providers. Businesses positioned for comparable work should be able to demonstrate reliable venue-sourcing capability, practical event support and the capacity to meet UKSBS’s needs through the relevant framework. The award provides a concrete example of the type of event-services requirement this buyer places.
