Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Growth Company Limited is procuring one supplier to design and build the fit-out of dedicated West Midlands pavilions for MIPIM 2027 and UKREiiF 2027. The empty-shell pavilions will be made suitable for regional promotion, investor and developer engagement, stakeholder meetings, events and networking. MIPIM is a global real estate and investment event held in Cannes, while UKREiiF is a UK real estate investment and infrastructure forum. The requirement covers exhibition equipment, exhibition stands and related exhibition, fair and congress organisation services. The work supports the West Midlands’ efforts to promote regional investment opportunities, announcements and businesses to domestic and international audiences. The buying organisation is West Midlands Growth Company Limited, based in Birmingham.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Bids must be submitted electronically through the buyer’s e-tendering portal by 12:00 on 11 September 2026. The estimated contract value is £245,000 excluding VAT, or £294,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 May 2027, covering preparation and delivery for both events. The buyer expects to decide the award by 8 October 2026. There is one requirement covering both pavilion fit-outs rather than separate lots. Evaluation is weighted 80% to quality and 20% to price. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and submissions must be in English.

This opportunity suits exhibition, event-design and fit-out companies able to take responsibility for a complete pavilion delivery across two major real estate events. Relevant suppliers will need to turn empty-shell spaces into practical, high-quality environments for meetings, events, networking and regional promotion. The requirement is particularly relevant to businesses experienced in exhibition stand design and build, temporary event environments, exhibition equipment and the organisation of fairs or congresses. A supplier must be able to coordinate the design and physical fit-out for both pavilions within the contract period, work with public and private-sector stakeholders, and support a prominent investor-facing presence for the West Midlands. Firms with strong project management, production, installation and event-delivery capability are well placed to compete.

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
