Summary of the contracting process

The Department for International Trade has recently awarded a contract for the design and build of a pavilion space at the NRF Big Show, the largest retail tech event in the world. This contract, titled "Stand build at the NRF big show," involves classifying under event services (CPV code 79952000). The procurement process is at the 'Award' stage, with the finalisation taking place between 18th December 2024 and 9th January 2025. The project's facilities will span across various locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, United Kingdom, and the rest of the world. The total value of the contract is GBP 39,117, and the procurement method used was a single-sourced action.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in retail technology willing to participate in large-scale international events. The NRF Big Show attracts a diverse audience of 40,000 attendees and provides an excellent platform for technology showcases to North and South American retailers. While the contract has been awarded to Freeman, the involvement of the Department for International Trade and the high visibility of the event creates potential networking and partnership opportunities for SMEs and large-scale suppliers within the event services and retail tech sectors. Although SMEs and VCSE organisations were not prioritised for this specific tender, the exposure and groundwork set by this pavilion space are invaluable for future business collaborations and market expansion.
