## Summary

The Department of Health is currently involved in a procurement process, titled "Conferences and Events," which falls under the category of miscellaneous business and business-related services. This contract, valued at £2,500,000, was awarded on 31 March 2016 and the contract period spans from 1 April 2016 to 30 March 2019. While the tender is reported as complete, it was originally published for transparency on 14 February 2018. The procurement method used was classified as "Other - Not Held centrally," and the main delivery address includes locations throughout the United Kingdom and overseas territories.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in event management and related services. Companies of various sizes could compete, although larger firms may have an advantage given the scale of the contract. Those with experience in coordinating large-scale conferences and events are likely to be well-positioned to excel. Furthermore, the inclusion of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the suitability criteria suggests that there are pathways for more niche or innovative service providers to participate in future opportunities related to similar contracts.
