The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), located in Coventry, United Kingdom, has engaged in a public procurement process titled "SIAL Paris'26 stand design and build requirements for AHDB." This tender process is aimed at securing services within the event industry for the construction and maintenance of exhibition stands at notable events including SIAL 2026 in Paris and Anuga 2027 in Cologne, with potential extensions for further events.
