    Brief

    The University of Plymouth is seeking a venue and comprehensive event management services for its 2027 and 2028 Graduation Ceremonies scheduled for November. The contract requires exclusive use of a professional venue for four days: one setup day and three ceremony days, accommodating multiple graduation ceremonies with full hospitality and catering services for graduates, families, staff, and guests. This is a direct award opportunity to Theatre Royal Plymouth due to its specific capacity, professional management, suitability, and confirmed availability to meet the University's critical graduation timeline following the unavailability of the originally planned venue (Plymouth Guildhall) due to ongoing refurbishment delays. The successful supplier will provide complete venue hire, event coordination, reception facilities, catering, and operational support necessary to deliver a high-quality graduation programme. This is a business-critical service forming a key component of the University's academic calendar.
