Upcoming

Welsh Event Support Framework

Cardiff University · Education

In brief

Cardiff University has announced plans to buy leisure and events work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £124,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 1 year, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 28 February 2027.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £124,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Cardiff University is undertaking development of its upcoming procurement for a Welsh Event Support Framework. We are looking to expand our presence at Welsh events, currently attending the Urdd, National Eisteddfod, and are starting to expand into Tafwyl with our stands often being one of the largest. Additional events may be included in our strategy.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
