Summary of the contracting process

Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, trading as North of England NHS Commercial Procurement Collaborative (NOE CPC), purchased exhibition stands for its Procurex event activity. The requirement covers physical exhibition-stand goods, classified under CPV 39154100, rather than construction, consultancy or general event management. The buyer is an NHS foundation trust operating a commercial procurement collaborative, with the contracting organisation based in Sheffield. The supplied stands support NOE CPC’s presence at Procurex, with the requirement relating to activity organised by the NHS procurement collaborative. The procurement was structured as a single lot and concerns the provision of exhibition infrastructure for the buyer’s event programme.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded, with the contract signed on 4 September 2026. NOE CPC used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. BIP Solutions Limited was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award and contract value is £15,000 excluding VAT and £18,000 including VAT. The award was dated 24 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 December 2026 and is active. The published award information identifies exhibition stands as the goods purchased. No competitive evaluation basis is recorded because the route was a direct award without competition. A later contract amendment states that the contract name was incorrect.

This procurement shows that NOE CPC buys exhibition stands to support its presence at Procurex and that it has used a direct, below-threshold purchasing route for this requirement. A supplier seeking comparable work with this buyer would need to provide physical exhibition-stand products suitable for an NHS commercial procurement event, rather than offer unrelated event services. The awarded supplier was a large company, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled by an established provider able to supply the specified goods. Relevant competitors would be exhibition-stand manufacturers, designers, builders or event-display suppliers with the operational capacity to deliver and support stands for a public-sector exhibition. Experience supplying professional conference or trade-event displays would help demonstrate a credible fit for a future requirement of this type.
