## Summary

The procurement process for CSP26014 - Acas27454 involved a direct award for venue hire services, facilitated by the buying organisation UK SBS, based in Swindon, England. This contract, valued at £550,000, falls under the CPV category "Hotel meeting and conference services" and covers a broad geography including the United Kingdom and other territories. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract awarded to Calder Conferences Limited on 13th April 2026 and set to begin on 1st May 2026, running through to 30th April 2030. The process utilised a selective procurement method via a call-off from Framework RM6342, specifically under Lot 3 for venue finding and supporting services for meetings, conferences, and events.

This contract award presents significant business growth opportunities for large enterprises focused on providing venue hire and associated services. With a substantial contract value and extensive geographical reach, businesses equipped to offer high-quality hotel meeting and conference services and capable of conforming to framework agreements could find lucrative opportunities here. While SMEs are indicated as suitable, the absence of VCSE involvement suggests that larger, well-established companies might compete more effectively. This could be an impetus for expanding service offerings and establishing robust partnerships within the industry.
