UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) procured attendance at the EU Robotics Forum in Birmingham together with a stand-build package. The requirement combines participation at the event with the design or construction of an exhibition stand; the procurement classifies the service under seminar organisation. The buyer is UKRI, the UK’s research and innovation funding body. The event and associated stand work are in Birmingham, England. This is a focused event-support requirement rather than a general robotics research or technology contract, and it is relevant to businesses providing conference attendance arrangements and exhibition stand services.

UKRI used a direct award without competition under its below-threshold procedure. The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. ERF 2027 Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 2 to 4 March 2027. Its value is £32,794.76 excluding VAT (£39,353.71 including VAT). The procurement was organised as one lot, covering the forum attendance and stand-build package. The published data gives no separate scoring or evaluation criteria; the award was made through the non-competitive direct-award route.

For event companies seeking comparable UKRI work, this award demonstrates demand for a supplier able to arrange participation in a specialist robotics forum and deliver a stand-build package for a Birmingham event. A credible competitor would need to combine event attendance support with practical exhibition delivery, coordinating the stand and the organisation of the buyer’s presence at the forum. The award went to a large supplier, indicating that the requirement was delivered by an established business, although the procurement does not set out a specific company-size threshold or named accreditation. The single-lot package favours suppliers able to manage both elements together, or event specialists able to bring the necessary stand-building capability into one coordinated service.
