Scope of Service
We manage end-to-end venue sourcing for corporate events, including requirements capture, outreach, shortlisting, negotiation support and booking administration. We can handle single bookings or multi-venue programmes across the UK.
Service Levels (SLA-style)
Governance & Accountability
We run a controlled workflow: brief intake → criteria validation → venue outreach → shortlist QA → client decision support. Every key step is recorded so procurement teams can evidence how options were assessed.
Reporting Outputs
You receive structured shortlists and a clear record of: contacted venues, responses, availability, pricing context, and the rationale for recommendations. This supports internal approvals and stakeholder sign-off.
Data Handling
We only collect what is needed to source venues and manage the booking process. Access is restricted, requests are logged, and we avoid storing unnecessary personal data. Where sensitive requirements exist (accessibility, dietary, safeguarding), they are captured and handled with appropriate care.
Evidence Ledger (Audit-Friendly)
For governance and traceability, we maintain a practical evidence trail that shows what happened, when, and why.
| Evidence Item | Why It Exists | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Brief received | Timestamped intake record | Brief submitted 10:14, requirements validated 10:27 |
| Criteria confirmed | Decision-ready scope | Capacity, layout, budget, location, dates |
| Venue outreach log | Proof of market coverage | X venues contacted, responses tracked |
| Shortlist issued | Delivery checkpoint | Shortlist issued 16:40 with availability notes |
| Change requests | Controlled iteration | Budget updated, new shortlist generated |
| Risk constraints noted | Avoids avoidable failures | Accessibility needs confirmed; step-free access required |
| Decision record | Approval trail | Option selected with rationale and alternatives recorded |
| Booking admin checkpoint | Operational control | Contract/PO notes captured, confirmation stored |
Managed Sourcing vs Self-Serve Browsing
If you want speed, control and a clean audit trail, managed sourcing is the safer operating model.
