What is being bought

Published requirement description

We are looking to appoint a full-service exhibition contractor, initially from 6 June 2025 to the end of the 2025-26 financial year, with an option to extend for a further two years. The successful bidder will be required to manage and deliver all aspects of a 'UK Seafood Pavilion' at international trade shows, including as a minimum, the Japan International Seafood & Technology Expo in Tokyo (20-22 August 2025) and the China Fisheries and Seafood Expo in Qingdao (29-31 October 2025). The contractor will be required to manage the whole project from booking and designing the space, to production of graphics, and stand construction and breakdown. The supplier will not be expected to man the stand during exhibition hours but will be expected to ensure that it is clean and fit for purpose.
