UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by the British Tourist Authority, trading as VisitBritain/VisitEngland, for the purpose of securing floor space at the ITB Berlin 2026 exhibition. The contract, titled "ITB Berlin 2026 VisitBritain Stand Space," falls under the services category specifically related to event services. The procurement was executed using a direct method, below the threshold and without competition, under special light-touch regime regulations. The contract was awarded to Messe Berlin GmbH, with the contract period starting on 12th November 2025 and ending on 5th March 2026. The contract was signed on 11th November 2025 in Birmingham, United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the event services industry, particularly those with a focus on international exhibitions. Businesses that specialise in constructing exhibition stands or providing complementary services for large-scale events could substantially benefit from engaging in this space. As the procurement was conducted through a direct process, companies with existing relationships or capabilities to offer unique services at competitive rates would be well-suited to compete for similar opportunities in the future. This project underscores the importance of networking and establishing connections with government bodies such as VisitBritain/VisitEngland for potential growth.
