## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), based in London, has completed a procurement process to host the King's Birthday Party 2025 for the British Embassy in Manila. The procurement was conducted under a limited competition method, below the threshold, focusing on services for hotel and event management. Makati Shangri-La Hotel and Resort Inc. in the Philippines was awarded the contract. This contract was signed on 4th June 2025, covering services in the hotel industry, such as hospitality, catering, and event management, with the event scheduled for 17th-18th June 2025. The procurement was governed by the legal basis of the UKPGA 2023/54.

This contract offers an excellent opportunity for businesses in the hotel and event management sectors, particularly those specialising in large-scale international functions, to expand their reach and showcase their capabilities to government bodies. Large hotel chains and venues capable of meeting stringent security, capacity, and pricing requirements are best positioned to engage in similar tenders. Participating in such processes allows businesses to build a reputation for reliability in managing prestigious international events, potentially opening doors to further opportunities with other diplomatic missions or government organisations.

## Notice

British Embassy Manila is seeking a hotel or event venue to host this year's His Majesty The King's Birthday Party. The venue must meet the following considerations such as availability, capacity, security, pricing, flexibility and accessibility. Given the rainy weather, hosting the event at the Ambassador's residence is not ideal, prompting the management to explore hotel options that are within the budget allocated (all coming from sponsorship) and scheduled within a certain timeframe mandated by the centre.
