## Summary

The procurement process under discussion involves UK Research and Innovation, a central government public authority acting as the buying organisation, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd as the procuring entity, both based in Swindon, UK. The procurement is titled "CSP25523 - Conference Centre for the Quantum Cluster Launch," and is classified under services, specifically catering and event services. The contracting process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract being signed on 27th October 2025 and active from 28th October to 11th November 2025. The method of procurement was direct, concluded without competition due to the necessity for a specific supplier, and the contract was valued at approximately €18,134.80.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses engaged in the provision of large-scale event and catering services, particularly those capable of accommodating significant numbers of attendees. Although the award has been made directly to Olly Services srl from Italy, similar companies should take note of future opportunities within the UK government sector, focusing on their niche capabilities for specialised events and large-scale service provisions. As the contract is within the public sector, SMEs with innovation-driven and tailored service offerings would fit well in competing for similar opportunities in this dynamic field.
