## Summary

The Department for Education has awarded a contract to GLASGOWS LIMITED for event management services related to the Business Engagement Annual Conference 2023. The contract, valued at £24,626, was procured through a selective procurement method, calling off from a framework agreement. The conference aims to facilitate engagement between high-value business leaders and government officials, fostering relationship-building and knowledge sharing. The contract period spans from February 1, 2023, to August 31, 2023, with the tender period ending on February 1, 2023.

This tender presents a business growth opportunity for event management companies specialising in services like conference organisation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the Department for Education has indicated a preference for SMEs. The location for service delivery is primarily in the United Kingdom, with delegates expected from various regions worldwide. Businesses with experience in high-profile corporate events and strong government relations are well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

Aims of the Conference: The Secretary of State for Education (DfE) has expressed support and enthusiasm for the concept of a conference as a way of deepening engagement with a greater number of employers at senior level. The DfE Business Engagement Annual Conference will offer an opportunity to reach a wider range of high-value business leaders. Invitees will be CEOs, Chairs or equivalent from 150 major employers, plus one of their respective heads of learning/talent or similar, bringing the total number of delegates to 250 to 300. At the heart of such an event is the continuous building of relationships and trust between business and government. It will provide delegates an opportunity to learn from and benchmark with fellow business leaders who already engage with the Department. It would give us the opportunity to share the latest information, initiatives and advice on skills and education direct to senior business leaders.
