## Summary

The Department for Business & Trade in the United Kingdom has completed a procurement process to secure event services for the Osaka World Expo 2025. The procurement, specifically for purchasing tickets for the UK Pavilion Events Guests at the Expo, was processed directly with the Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition, headquartered in Osaka, Japan. This procurement falls under the services category and was conducted without competition due to its below-threshold status. The contract, valued at GBP 91,630.14 gross, was active from 28th March 2025 until 13th October 2025. The legal basis was UK legislation 2023/54, and the buying organisation was the Department for Business & Trade, located in London. 

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in event services, particularly those looking to establish or expand their international presence in high-profile global events. With the main procurement category being services, companies specialising in event management and ticketing solutions are well-suited to engage in similar opportunities. As the contracting authority is a central government entity, successful suppliers can leverage this to enhance their credentials and industry reputation, thus driving business growth and exploring further public sector collaborations.

## Notice

Osaka Expo Project Team need to buy Expo tickets to ensure continued guest engagement and a consistent experience for the events we host at the UK Pavilion in Osaka at World Expo 2025. As we don't have a contract with the Expo Association, we need to make the purchase through a PO and pay Expo directly for additional tickets.
