## Summary

The British Tourist Authority is seeking proposals for the provision of venue/s to host the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence 2020 event, located in London, UK. This procurement is classified under the event services industry, specifically focusing on fair and exhibition organisation services. The tender is currently in the active stage with an open procurement method. The deadline for submission is 25th October 2019, while the contract period is set to commence on 16th December 2019 and conclude on 30th June 2020. The estimated contract value is between £50,000 and £100,000, aimed primarily at small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

This opportunity presents a significant potential for growth for businesses involved in event management and venue provision. Companies with expertise in organising cultural events and those capable of providing suitable venues for award ceremonies or expos would be particularly well-suited to apply. The event is expected to attract approximately 400 businesses, paving the way for valuable networking and exposure for successful bidders in the tourism and hospitality sectors.

## Notice

VisitEngland is looking for suggestions, logistical and or/financial support from a host destination in our search for a venue (or venues) to host the VEAE 2020 event. Unlike previous years, we will not be holding a traditional sit-down gala awards ceremony. In June 2020 we will be hosting a Learning Expo in which all of the eligible winners from 18 local and regional competitions will be invited to attend (approximately 400 businesses), followed by an awards presentation event for all of the shortlisted national winners (approximately 200-220 guests). Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
