## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfT) has completed the procurement process for the Government Finance Function Conference 2025, awarding the contract to Live Group Ltd. Categorised under miscellaneous membership organisations services (CPV: 98130000), this opportunity spans multiple locations including the UK and British Overseas Territories, among others. This procurement, conducted via a direct single tender action below the threshold, progressed from tender initiation to an award stage, with the contract period running from 16 October 2024 to 31 March 2025. The conference is scheduled for 4-5 February 2025, and the awarded contract has a value of GBP 21,270.

This tender offers considerable opportunities for business growth within the event management and hospitality sectors, particularly for businesses experienced in handling large-scale conferences and events for public sector clients. Although the contract was awarded to a large supplier, similar future opportunities may be suitable for companies specialising in logistics, accommodation, and catering services seeking to establish or expand their portfolio in government contracts.
