Summary of the contracting process

In an effort to engage and inspire individuals to consider careers within the NHS, NHS England has completed a procurement process for a "NHS Health Careers event support" service. AIP Exhibitions Ltd has been awarded the contract to build and manage exhibition stands at various events across the UK. The contract, valued at £25,000, commenced on 10th July 2025 and will run until the end of June 2026. This open competition process, below the official financial threshold, was initiated to enhance visibility and attract visitors to NHS career events, emphasising the diverse opportunities within the health sector.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in event management and exhibit stand construction, particularly those accustomed to large-scale projects. SMEs and voluntary community sector enterprises are encouraged to participate in similar tenders, offering innovative solutions and technical expertise to enhance the NHS's outreach efforts. The stand builder should be adept at engaging visitors, ensuring professional presentation, and maintaining responsive communication with NHS Health Careers, thereby contributing to the overarching goal of inspiring new healthcare career entrants.
