Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ) arranged event services for its participation in COP31: booking Blue Zone pavilion space, delegation offices and booths. The booking is with the Republic of Türkiye’s Ministry of Environment, Urbanization & Climate Change. The event is to be held at Antalya EXPO Expo Centre in Türkiye. The requirement is specifically for DESNZ’s presence at COP31, rather than general event delivery or venue provision.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to YRD İstanbul Reklamcılık ve Danışmanlık Ticaret Anonim Şirketi. The award date was 6 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 9 to 20 November 2026. The award is valued at USD 240,000 before tax (USD 288,000 including tax). There was one lot, covering the COP31 Blue Zone space booking. DESNZ used a direct award because pavilion space for COP31 could only be booked by this method. The stated evaluation rationale was single-supplier technical reasons.

The award demonstrates a focused requirement for securing and arranging official event space for a UK government delegation at a major international climate conference. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need the ability to access the event’s designated zone and secure the required pavilion, delegation-office and booth arrangements through the authorised booking route. Familiarity with the host-country arrangements and the practicalities of coordinating conference space in Türkiye would be relevant to delivering this specific kind of booking. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME rather than necessarily requiring a large event-management organisation.
