UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government commissioned sponsorship services for the Defence, Security and Resilience Cymru event. The requirement covered support for an event focused on defence, security and resilience, including fair and exhibition organisation services and exhibition stands. The event was held at the International Convention Centre Wales in Newport. The buying organisation is Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government, with procurement managed through its Corporate Procurement Services in Cardiff. This is a services requirement rather than goods or construction work. The delivery location is in Wales, and the requirement relates to a single event rather than an ongoing programme of venues, facilities or general event management. Businesses operating in event sponsorship, exhibition delivery, trade-fair organisation or stand provision would recognise the type of work involved.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The Welsh Government used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Business in Focus was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 25 August to 11 September 2026. Its value is £60,000 excluding VAT and £72,000 including VAT. The sponsored event took place on 3–4 September 2026. The procurement had one completed lot, covering the full requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies the requirement as a services contract for fair and exhibition organisation, including exhibition stands. No competitive tender evaluation basis is recorded for this direct award.

For suppliers assessing future Welsh Government demand, this award shows a discrete public-sector requirement for event sponsorship and exhibition delivery linked to a defence, security and resilience event in Wales. A credible competitor would need to organise or support a professional fair or exhibition, provide suitable exhibition stands, and manage delivery around a fixed event programme. Experience of working with public authorities would be relevant, as would the operational capacity to deliver a complete event-related service rather than only a standalone manufactured product. The selected supplier, Business in Focus, is recorded as an SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise, indicating that organisations of that type can be involved in this kind of requirement. Relevant event-sector capability and dependable delivery would therefore be central to competing for similar work from this buyer.
