The contract involves hosting two graduation ceremonies annually in Central London, with catering and event management services required. The contract period is set to commence on May 31, 2024, and end on May 30, 2029. The deadline for tender submissions is February 28, 2024. The procurement falls under the 'Event services' industry category. This opportunity is suitable for SMEs looking to offer event management and catering services in Central London. Businesses with experience in handling large ceremonies and providing high-quality catering are well-suited to compete. The procurement method is an open procedure, providing a fair chance for eligible suppliers to secure the contract. Interested parties must ensure compliance with the specified requirements and demonstrate their capability to meet the needs of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine for hosting successful graduation events. ## Notice LSHTM proposes to enter a contract for an initial period of 3 years with an option to extend for two periods of 12 months each (3+1+1). The Supplier must be located in Central London and the services required are a suitable venue with all necessary IT/AV accessories available for hire which can host our ceremony and has the capacity to accommodate the number of students and guests as stated in the specification. The supplier will also be required to provide catering services to be delivered by a suitably qualified and experienced team as well as a dedicated events manager. The requirement will be awarded as a single contract to one successful bidder. The event comprises two graduation ceremonies, each followed by a reception to take place annually on one day normally in early March. However, the date and number of ceremonies are subject to change. The supplier is expected to be flexible as there may be a need to re-schedule ceremonies or to have ceremonies outside of the stated period and this will be negotiated between the University and Supplier to arrive at a fair and mutually agreed solution. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03528a3a-a4fd-47ff-bf56-89df60ee1b9b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | 28 Feb 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 May 2024 - 30 May 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £725,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON SCHOOL OF HYGIENE & TROPICAL MEDICINE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC1E 7HT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Bloomsbury | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 55 - Hotel, restaurant and retail trade services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 55120000 - Hotel meeting and conference services - 55520000 - Catering services - 79952000 - Event services ## Release History - 29 Jan 2024 at 14:09 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03528a3a-a4fd-47ff-bf56-89df60ee1b9b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03528a3a-a4fd-47ff-bf56-89df60ee1b9b 29th January 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=77566&B=LSHTM Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/104519 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.lshtm.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
