Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office is procuring exhibition organisation services for the design, supply and installation of a JMSC exhibition stand at the Security and Policing Event. The requirement covers creating the stand, supplying the required materials and equipment, installing it at Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre, and reinstalling it for the same event in subsequent years, subject to JMSC continuing to participate. The work is associated with the security and policing exhibition sector and will be delivered at the Farnborough venue in the United Kingdom. This is a single stand requirement rather than a multi-lot programme, and is suitable for businesses providing exhibition stand design, construction, logistics, installation and dismantling services.

The procurement has reached tender: the Home Office invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Potential suppliers could submit enquiries until 18 August 2026 at 12:00, and bids were due by 20 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 1 April 2029, covering the 2027, 2028 and 2029 event installations. The estimated value is £102,000 excluding VAT, or £122,400 including VAT. Bids are evaluated on 60% technical ability and quality and 40% cost; the contract is awarded to the bid with the best overall score. Electronic submission is allowed through the Home Office e-sourcing portal.

This opportunity suits exhibition specialists able to take a project from stand concept and design through manufacture, transport, installation and later reinstallation. Suppliers should be able to deliver a professional stand for a security and policing event, coordinate work at an exhibition and conference venue, and support repeat delivery across three event years. The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may fit an established specialist contractor as well as a larger exhibition production business. Organisations registering for the e-sourcing portal need a valid DUNS number for the contracting entity. Strong technical capability and quality are more important in evaluation than price alone.
