## Summary

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) buys venue booking services for the Metropolitan Police Service. The work covers finding and managing external venues for meetings, training events, workshops, conferences and other business activities. Suppliers arrange suitable venues and manage bookings across these different types of MPS activity. Delivery is for the Metropolitan Police Service in London. The requirement is a managed booking service rather than the provision of a single venue, so it is relevant to businesses able to source and coordinate external locations for a public-sector organisation’s varied events.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Calder Conferences Ltd, the sole supplier appointed to Lot 3 of Crown Commercial Service framework RM6342. The award was made by direct award under the framework, without a further competition; one bid is recorded. The contract was signed on 1 March 2026 and is active, with a value of £22 million. No contract period or award date is stated. The procurement was a limited procedure, and price was the stated award criterion. The lot is recorded as cancelled, while the overall tender is complete and the award is active.

This award demonstrates demand from MOPAC and the Metropolitan Police Service for an outsourced service that can source and manage external venues for a broad programme of operational and business events. A credible competitor would need reliable venue-sourcing reach, booking coordination and the capacity to support meetings, training, workshops and conferences for a large public-sector organisation. The route used here was a direct award from a named Crown Commercial Service framework lot, with Calder Conferences Ltd appointed as its sole supplier, so framework access and eligibility for the relevant route were central to this outcome. The recorded evaluation basis was price, making competitive pricing important alongside dependable delivery across the range of event requirements.
