Summary of the contracting process

The British Tourist Authority, trading as VisitBritain/VisitEngland, has completed the procurement process for the exhibition stand space at IBTM World 2025. The project, titled "BTA2156 Exhibition Stand Space at IBTM World 2025," involves the procurement of floor space required for building a MeetEngland stand/platform. This exhibition is scheduled to take place from 18th to 20th November 2025 in Spain. The authority employed a direct award method due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, resulting in Reed Exhibitions Limited being awarded the contract. With an active contract status and a total contract value of €191,146.80, the procurement is categorised under services within the fair and exhibition organisation industry.

This contract provides an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in event management, particularly those with expertise in exhibition stand construction and organisation services, to align with major industry events like IBTM World. Despite the direct award nature of this procurement, similar opportunities are ideal for industry players capable of providing unique, location-specific exhibition solutions and leveraging partnerships with agencies like VisitBritain/VisitEngland. Companies with experience in international exhibitions will likely find such tenders promising for showcasing their capabilities on a significant global platform.
