## Summary

The public procurement process for the "AI Adoption Summit Event" has been completed by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) in collaboration with HM Treasury. The event is set to take place on 8 June 2026 during London Tech Week and aims to drive AI adoption through engagements among government ministers and industry leaders. The requirement included an event venue with catering services for 60 to 70 attendees. DSIT, based at Whitehall, London, was the buying organisation, and the procurement was conducted via a direct method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold. The contract, valued at £65,000 GBP, was awarded to Founders Forum LLP, and covers services related to event planning and execution within a time frame starting from 4 June to 4 July 2026.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations involved in event management and hospitality services. As the contract entailed direct interaction with influential government and industry figures during a prominent tech event, it offers substantial relationship-building potential for suppliers involved. Businesses that specialise in large-scale event coordination, particularly those experienced in tech-oriented gatherings, would be well-suited to similar future procurement processes. The chosen supplier, Founders Forum LLP, underscores the emphasis on expertise in managing complex, high-profile events with capabilities to integrate with ongoing tech initiatives during London Tech Week.

## Notice

The AI Adoption Summit is a flagship UK government event, hosted by DSIT and HM Treasury on 8 June 2026 during London Tech Week. It will convene Ministers and senior industry leaders to drive private sector AI adoption and secure concrete commitments to support economic growth and workforce transformation. Designed as a high-impact, half-day summit, it combines formal discussions with networking to strengthen engagement between government and business. This requirement was for the event venue plus catering that has space for 60 to 70 people, with rooms for breakout and media sessions. This work is required for the supplier to work alongside other Tech events taking place in the week.
