Summary of the contracting process

The Pensions Regulator procured one exhibition stand for the Pensions UK Conference 2026. The requirement is for the provision of a conference exhibition stand, classified as exhibition stands, for activity in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is The Pensions Regulator, a central government public authority based in Brighton. The stand is associated with the Pensions UK Conference and therefore relates to presenting an organisation or its services in a professional pensions-sector conference environment. The procurement covered a single requirement rather than a wider programme of exhibition or event services. Businesses relevant to this requirement include exhibition contractors and event suppliers able to provide a complete exhibition stand for a UK conference setting and support the buyer’s presence at that event.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The Pensions Regulator used a direct award below the relevant threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and awarded to the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association. The awarded contract value is £36,000 excluding VAT, or £43,200 including VAT. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 October 2026. The tender and its single lot are recorded as complete, while the award and contract are active. The procurement was for goods and used a single lot. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and the contract value, with the requirement covering one exhibition stand for the Pensions UK Conference 2026.

This award is useful market evidence for exhibition contractors and event suppliers serving public bodies and the pensions sector. It shows that The Pensions Regulator purchases a complete exhibition stand for a sector conference through a below-threshold direct award route. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the practical ability to design, supply and install an exhibition stand for a professional conference, with delivery in the United Kingdom and close attention to the buyer’s event requirements. Relevant capability is focused on exhibition-stand provision rather than general construction, consultancy or broad event management. Suppliers with experience delivering comparable conference stands for regulated, government or financial-services organisations would be well placed to evidence an understanding of the setting and expected standard.
