Other Information

WFD is issuing this Invitation to Tender ("ITT") to a range of potential suppliers of services and would welcome a bid from your organisation. Due to the nature of the work WFD carries out, we conduct events, workshops, trainings, and meetings on a regular basis, with a diverse range of participants (both local and foreign) - including policymakers, parliamentarians, political party members, state officials, civil society representatives, international organisations, media, and the private sector. Our accomodation and conference needs are sometimes short-notice or subject to last-minute changes due to the changing needs of participants. For the logistical arrangements of these events, WFD needs the services of a provider that can facilitate both an individual's accommodation arrangements, complex group accommodation, and VIP accommodation, as well as coordination on conference requirements with the selected hospitality providers. The successful bidder will provide the following services: event venue/meeting space finding and booking and hotel bookings with an estimated annual expenditure of GBP 15,000 (no minimum guarantee) on accommodation and conferences. This will need to be reflected in a flexible cost and billing structure. We require dedicated agents on hand to help with any queries and to support with group, VIP, and complex booking needs.
