## Summary

The Agri-EPI Centre Limited, located in Edinburgh, Scotland, is conducting a procurement process for the "031-0621T Hybrid Conference & Other Events Framework." This procurement falls under the services category, specifically for hotel meeting and conference services, with a total contract value of £180,000. The procurement method utilized is an open procedure, and it is currently in the Award stage as of the publication date of 15 March 2022. The contract period is set from 16 July 2021 until 11 July 2025. Interested parties had until 1 July 2021 to submit their bids.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in event management and conference services, particularly those with experience in hybrid events. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations may find themselves well-suited to compete, given the buyer's encouragement of diverse bidders. The framework aims to facilitate future events, potentially allowing successful bidders to secure ongoing work alongside prestigious occasions like COP26.

## Notice

Agri-EPI Centre is conducting a procurement exercise on behalf of itself and the 3 other sister Agri-Tech organisations, to appoint bidder(s) to its framework for an immediate requirement of a hybrid conference event in November 2021 and subsequent events as required. Recognising the potential benefits of showcasing the four Centres at a high-profile event such as COP26, it has been decided to extend this to include a day-time conference to run alongside the main COP26 event. This will take place irrespective of whether COP26 takes place (recognising potential Covid-19 restrictions). Therefore, we would like to receive bids from suitably qualified and experienced providers for the organisation and delivery of the November 2021 on and offline conference-type event and potentially future ones as and when required.
