## Summary

The University of Aberdeen has awarded a contract for the provision of graduation venue services for Summer, Winter, and an additional ad hoc ceremony in 2022. The procurement process was initiated as a limited tender, in which competition was absent due to the lack of suitable venues in Aberdeen. The contract, valued at £500,000, was completed on 23rd February 2022, confirming P&J Live as the chosen supplier. The service classification falls under the education sector, specifically related to events.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the event and venue management sector, particularly those with a strong capacity for large-scale operations. Companies that offer unique facilities or specialised services for academic events may find themselves particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Engaging in public contracts like this can allow businesses to strengthen relationships with educational institutions and enhance their visibility in the local market.
