## Summary

The Department for Education commissioned event services for the UK-US Fulbright Commission’s Summer Reception. The requirement covered the organisation and delivery of a formal reception event, under the plain-language category of event management and event services (CPV 79952000). The buying organisation is the Department for Education, a central government department. The selected provider is The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge, commonly known as the Royal Society, a large voluntary, community and social enterprise based in London. The procurement was structured as one completed lot. The requirement is relevant to event organisers, cultural and scientific institutions, hospitality providers and venues able to deliver formal reception events for public sector or international education programmes.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The contract was awarded to The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge through a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 25 May 2026 and runs from 2 June 2026 to 16 July 2026. Its value is £10,677 excluding VAT and £12,812.40 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers one lot and one event-services requirement for the UK-US Fulbright Commission’s Summer Reception. The published data identifies the Royal Society as the supplier and records the procurement category as services. The process used a limited competition rather than an open tender, providing a useful indication of the buyer’s route for this below-threshold event requirement.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it gives competing suppliers a clear benchmark for work of this type for the Department for Education. A credible future provider would need to deliver a formal reception event and provide event-services capability suited to a UK-US Fulbright Commission engagement. The selected supplier’s profile shows that a large, established voluntary, community or social enterprise can satisfy the requirement, so organisations with comparable scale and institutional standing may be well placed. Relevant businesses include experienced event organisers, cultural or scientific institutions, and venues with the operational capacity to host and manage a high-profile reception. The procurement also indicates that below-threshold event work may be sourced through a limited competition.
