NSW Treasury has launched a major accommodation procurement programme. The NSW Government Preferred Accommodation Programme for 2025-27 offers hotels and venues the chance to secure government contracts worth millions.
FCM Consulting will manage the tender process for NSW Government. The programme runs from 2025-2027 and includes regular rate auditing and supplier management. The initiative will prioritise regional and remote NSW locations.
Tight timeline
Key dates:
- Supplier briefings: 24-25 June 2025
- RFP launch: 26 June 2025
- Submission deadline: 9 July 2025, 5pm AEDT
- Vendor appointments: September 2025
All submissions must go through CVENT/Lanyon platform. Properties without Lanyon profiles can use manual submission options.
Industry impact
The programme reflects government spending optimisation and regional development priorities. Conference organisers benefit from streamlined venue selection processes for government events.
DMCs in regional markets should note the geographic focus. Government accommodation partnerships often translate to increased destination marketing visibility and credibility.
FCM Consulting’s involvement adds professional procurement expertise. The structured approach provides clear performance expectations through 2027.
Interested providers should access the NSW Government RFP Portal immediately. Clarification questions close 2 July 2025. Contact: nswg.hotelsourcing@fcmtravel.com.au
