Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade in the United Kingdom has recently completed a procurement process titled "DBT Presence at Arab Health 2026," held under the legal framework outlined by the UKPGA 2023/54. The process involved a direct procurement method, executed without competition due to the project's below-threshold nature. The contract focuses on event services and targets the healthcare industry, specifically for participation in the Arab Health 2026 exhibition to be held in the United Arab Emirates. The procurement stage is now in the award phase, with the contract having been signed on 12 August 2025. The contract period extends from 12 August 2025 until 12 February 2026, with the award valued at £114,474 (net), and the UK-based Association of British HealthTech Industries (ABHI) serves as the main supplier.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health technology and event management sectors, particularly those with expertise in international trade exhibitions. With the involvement of a large supplier like the ABHI, there is potential for collaboration and partnerships within the scope of delivering services at the Arab Health 2026 event. This opportunity is well-suited for event service providers looking to expand their portfolios and enhance international exposure, especially those with a focus on health technology innovations and UK export promotion. As the contract has moved to the active stage, interested businesses may seek alignment or subcontracting opportunities with the ABHI or within the broader supply network.
