UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation, a central government public authority based in Swindon, is procuring an exhibition stand for an upcoming event. The procurement, titled "CSP26293 - Exhibition Stand," falls within the goods industry category related to exhibition stands and has been awarded without competition, citing technical reasons for the absence of competitive bids. The award process was completed on 5th March 2026, with the contract actively scheduled from 21st to 23rd April 2026. The procurement method was determined as below threshold and the total gross contract value is £15,600, though it was signed for £13,000.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in event management, exhibition stand design, and installation to gain exposure and credibility by working with a central government authority. BRAY LEINO LIMITED, the supplier awarded the contract, exemplifies how SMEs can leverage such opportunities to expand their business footprint in the public sector. Businesses with technical prowess in crafting and setting up exhibition stands, particularly those comfortable with swift delivery and setup, would find themselves well-suited to compete in similar future tender opportunities.
