## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is buying event services for the UK-Ireland Youth Forum 2027. The work covers designing, delivering and evaluating the forum, including engaging participants, developing the programme, managing the event, safeguarding participants, coordinating stakeholders and reporting. The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport is responsible for tender evaluation, strategic direction and programme oversight. The forum is a UK-Ireland initiative; the procurement describes the delivery location as the United Kingdom. Suppliers need to cover a connected programme of event and engagement work, rather than event management alone, with safeguarding, stakeholder coordination and evaluation forming part of the required service.

The buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The procurement has reached the tender stage. Suppliers were required to submit the tender documents by email by 26 October 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 31 May 2027. The estimated value is £84,000 excluding VAT, or £100,000 including VAT. There is one lot, covering the full forum service. Evaluation is weighted 70% on technical quality and 30% on commercial considerations. Participation is reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises based in the United Kingdom.

This opportunity is suited to UK-based small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises with the capacity to deliver an end-to-end youth forum programme. Relevant strengths include designing participatory programmes, recruiting and engaging young participants, coordinating UK and Irish stakeholders, running events, managing safeguarding arrangements and evaluating outcomes. Suppliers able to combine these capabilities with clear reporting are well placed to address the full scope. The technical element carries greater weight than price in evaluation, so a strong delivery approach and evidence of relevant event, engagement and evaluation experience are commercially important. The requirement also calls for oversight across programme development and delivery, rather than a supplier focused solely on venue or event logistics.
