## Summary

The procurement process involves UK Shared Business Services Limited as the buying organisation for the tender titled "UK SBS SSAPS18086". This contract falls under the "Exhibition stands" category within the services industry. The contract is based in the United Kingdom and revolves around setting up a UK stand at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) meeting in Washington DC, scheduled for 14-18 February 2019. The procurement method used for this contract is a single tender action, which is below the threshold, and the award was published on 10 October 2018, following an active award status since the contract period began on 21 August 2018.

This opportunity provides a platform for businesses specialising in exhibition services, hotel meeting, and conference solutions to expand their market reach, particularly those capable of working within the American event landscape. While the tender has limitations regarding service providers, businesses that can adapt their offerings to the AAAS's preferred suppliers for catering and audiovisual services may have a competitive advantage. Overall, this tender can foster growth for specialised service providers looking to engage in international exhibitions.

## Notice

Overview On behalf of other UK Government partners including BEIS, the Science and Innovation Network, and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has decided to provide a United Kingdom stand at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) meeting in Washington DC 14-18 February 2019. The meeting is provided by the AAAS organisation, which is the sole supplier of exhibit space and associated services at the event. The AAAS requires exhibitors to use the AAAS' referred provider of catering, audio visual and associated services - which prevents UKRI from tendering for these services.
