## Summary

Sheffield Hallam University has completed a procurement process for the venue hire required for its graduation events over the next four years. The contract, valued at £540,000, falls under the event services industry category (CPV code 79952000) and will be conducted in Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was a Direct Award under regulation 32.2.b(ii) of the PCR (2015) due to the lack of other suitable venues within Sheffield, with the contract period set from 9th August 2024 to 20th November 2027. The procurement is now in the award stage, with Sheffield City Trust being the selected supplier.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in event services, particularly those that have the capacity to manage large-scale venue operations over an extended period. Companies specialising in providing venue services for academic institutions can find valuable growth potential through similar agreements. While this specific contract could not be competed for due to technical reasons unique to Sheffield Hallam University's needs, businesses with abilities in handling bespoke event requirements should prepare for potential future opportunities where open competition is feasible.
