Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Growth Company Limited commissioned the design and build fit-out of dedicated pavilions for the West Midlands at two property investment events: MIPIM in Cannes and UKREiiF in the UK. Both venues provide empty-shell spaces that need to be designed and fitted out for use. The pavilions are intended to promote the region and its investment opportunities, support meetings and networking, and engage investors, developers and other stakeholders. The work covers both events under one supplier agreement, including exhibition pavilion design, construction and fit-out. The buyer is based in Birmingham. The UKREiiF pavilion continues the regional exhibition presence previously delivered at a 200-square-metre stand; the procurement description does not give a size for either 2027 pavilion.

The procurement is complete and an award has been made to Open Exhibitions Limited. The award is dated 26 October 2026 and is valued at £215,191 excluding VAT (£258,231.60 including VAT). The contract period runs from 9 November 2026 to 31 May 2027. The estimated tender value was £245,000 excluding VAT (£294,000 including VAT). The buyer used an open procedure. Bids were evaluated on quality, weighted at 80%, and price, weighted at 20%. The procurement was a single lot covering both pavilions. Four bids reached the final stage, all from small and medium-sized businesses. The contract period includes delivery for MIPIM and UKREiiF 2027.

This award shows demand from West Midlands Growth Company Limited for a supplier able to deliver complete exhibition pavilion design and fit-out across two major real estate investment events. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to combine exhibition design with practical build and fit-out capability, coordinating delivery for separate event venues and producing spaces suitable for regional promotion, investor meetings, events and networking. Experience delivering exhibition stands and managing the associated event requirements would be relevant to the scope. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized business, and all four final-stage bids came from SMEs, indicating that the requirement was within reach of businesses of that scale. Quality carried substantially more evaluation weight than price, so a strong design and delivery proposal would matter alongside competitive pricing.

Notice Information

Notice Title

West Midlands at MIPIM and UKREiiF 2027 Pavilion - Design & Fit Out

Notice Description

The real estate calendar is dominated by two large conferences, MIPIM and UKREiiF. Both events are critical to the West Midlands as key opportunities to market the region domestically and internationally, promote opportunities and announcements, and engage with an investor and developer audience. MIPIM is a globally recognised real estate and investment event, held annually in Cannes, bringing together investors, developers, public sector leaders, and key decision-makers from across the global property and investment market. Over recent years, WMGC has delivered the regional presence at MIPIM through a tactical model focused on targeted business development activity, stakeholder engagement and investor meetings. Whilst this approach has delivered positive outcomes, feedback from both public and private sector stakeholders has indicated that the model is approaching its natural limitations, and that a more visible and anchored presence is required to support investor engagement and regional promotion. Following engagement with regional stakeholders, and consideration through governance channels, it has been agreed that WMGC will lead the delivery of an enhanced presence at MIPIM 2027. UKREiiF is the UK's real estate investment and infrastructure forum. It is a three-day real estate event that was established in 2022, defying expectations, attracting thousands of domestic and international developers, investors, councils and built environment thought leaders. Its aim is to connect people, places and businesses to accelerate and unlock sustainable, inclusive and transformational investment. Over recent years, WMGC has delivered the regional presence at UKREiiF by exhibiting in a 200sqm pavilion used to showcase the West Midlands through a series of events, meetings, and networking. This approach has been positively received by both public and private sector stakeholders who are keen to return in 2027. Following engagement with regional stakeholders, and consideration through governance channels, it has been agreed that WMGC will lead the delivery of the regional presence again at UKREiiF 2027. The centrepiece to West Midlands presence at both events will be a West Midlands dedicated pavilion. Both pavilions are empty shells and will require designing and fit out to make them fit for purpose. The purpose of this procurement is to establish an agreement with one supplier to cover the fit out of both pavilions at MIPIM and UKREiiF * MIPIM and UKREiiF Design and Build of pavilion fit out
