UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade commissioned event services for its presence at MAPIC 2026, a global retail real estate event in Cannes, France. The requirement was to host a business lounge for UK companies to meet international buyers and decision-makers. MAPIC takes place on 3–4 November and brings together more than 4,000 professionals from 75 countries. The work therefore covers the delivery of a business-facing event space and the associated arrangements needed to support meetings at an international retail property event. The buyer is the Department for Business & Trade, a UK central government department. This is relevant to event organisers and suppliers experienced in delivering exhibition stands, business lounges or meeting facilities at major international trade events.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Department for Business & Trade used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. RX Global Ltd was selected as supplier for the event services. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026 and runs from 7 July to 4 November 2026. Its awarded value is £27,134.51 including the published gross amount. The contract relates to one completed lot. The procurement records the requirement as services and identifies event services as the relevant activity. The award was active and the contract was active when published. No separate scoring or evaluation weighting is recorded in the procurement outcome.

For a supplier assessing future demand from the Department for Business & Trade, this contract demonstrates a requirement for an international trade-event presence serving UK businesses and connecting them with overseas commercial decision-makers. A credible competitor would need experience in event services, particularly planning and delivering branded business lounges or exhibition environments where companies can hold meetings. Useful capability would include coordinating a professional meeting space within a large international event, managing delivery through to the event close, and supporting participants from multiple countries and business backgrounds. Suppliers with established relationships with major event organisers or venues, and the capacity to deliver a polished business-facing environment at scale, would be well placed when this type of requirement returns.
