Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ) procured event services for the UK pavilion in the Blue Zone at COP31 in Antalya, Turkey. The requirement covers heating, pavilion design and build, construction and fit-out, furniture rental, graphics and printing, on-demand catering, electricity, audio-visual equipment and services, freight, security, cleaning and associated services. Turkey’s official COP31 subcontractor, YRD Istanbul Advertising and Consulting Inc., is responsible for providing and operating these services. The work supports DESNZ’s presence at the international climate conference and centres on delivering and running the UK pavilion rather than supplying a single standalone service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to YRD Istanbul Advertising and Consulting Inc. through a direct award, on the basis that it was the only supplier appointed for the COP31 pavilion. The award date was 6 October 2026. The awarded value is £605,025.71 excluding VAT (£726,030.20 including VAT). The contract period runs from 16 October to 20 November 2026, covering one lot. The services are classified as event services. The award is active; the published information records a scheduled signature date of 16 October 2026. No separate evaluation scoring or weighted award criteria are stated.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for DESNZ, this award shows demand for an integrated event-services provider able to deliver and operate a national pavilion at a major international conference. Credible competitors would need to coordinate venue fit-out and construction with utilities, audio-visual provision, furniture, catering, freight, security, cleaning, graphics and print. The scope favours strong event delivery and operational management, including the capacity to bring multiple specialist services together in a short, fixed event period and to work within the host country’s delivery arrangements. The buyer used a direct award because the supplier had been appointed as the official subcontractor for the event zones; a future competitor would therefore need a route to deliver the requirement within the relevant host and event contracting structure.
