## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire procured a venue-finding and event-booking solution, including supporting services for meetings, conferences and events. The requirement is for hotel meeting and conference services. Delivery is associated with Winsford and the North West of England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to CALDER CONFERENCES LIMITED. The award date was 10 October 2026. The contract period runs from 10 October 2026 to 9 October 2028. The estimated award value is £600,000; actual spend depends on organisations’ requirements. The contract was directly awarded through the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6342 framework, Lot 3, covering venue finding and support for meetings, conferences and events. The tender deadline was 6 October 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers competing for similar work with this buyer, the requirement demonstrates demand for venue sourcing and supporting services across meetings, conferences and events. A credible competitor would need to find suitable venues and coordinate the associated event support, with the capacity to respond to requirements that vary between organisations. The successful supplier was appointed through a framework direct award, so experience delivering this specific combination of venue-finding and event support would be relevant when demonstrating capability for comparable requirements.

## Notice
