Tender description
VEAT Notice: Graduation Event Venue Hire Lot 1: This Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency (VEAT) Notice covers the period of 19th October to 24th October 2025 (the ‘Ceremony Dates’).

A Contract by direct award will be concluded under regulation 32.2.b (ii) of the PCR (2015), whereby competition is absent for technical reasons.
