## Summary

The Department for Business & Trade procured event services from the British Fashion Council for attendance and stand space at The London Show Rooms in Paris and London Fashion Week. The arrangement provides a platform for UK designers to showcase their collections at Paris Fashion Week, with delivery by the British Fashion Council. The work is focused on fashion-industry events, exhibition or stand space, and associated participation arrangements across Paris and London. The buying organisation is the Department for Business & Trade, a central government department. This requirement will suit organisations that deliver or manage high-profile fashion events, provide exhibition and stand-space arrangements, or support designer participation and showcase activity connected with major fashion weeks. The relevant service classification is event services (CPV 79952000).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Department for Business & Trade used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the legal basis recorded for the process. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and runs from 10 September 2026 to 5 April 2027. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. The contract was awarded to the British Fashion Council, whose award is active. The requirement was handled as a single service lot. The recorded outcome reflects a completed procurement rather than an opportunity for suppliers to submit bids. The award relates to delivering attendance and stand space for The London Show Rooms in Paris and London Fashion Week, supporting the showcasing of UK designer collections at Paris Fashion Week.

This award shows that the Department for Business & Trade buys specialist fashion-event services to support UK designers at internationally significant fashion-week activity. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to organise or deliver attendance and stand-space arrangements in both Paris and London, work effectively with fashion-industry stakeholders, and provide a platform suitable for presenting designer collections to a high-profile audience. Relevant experience in major fashion events, designer showcases, exhibition operations and international event delivery would help establish capability. Suppliers should also be able to manage the practical coordination associated with participation and stand space across more than one city, while understanding the needs of UK fashion businesses seeking visibility at Paris Fashion Week and London Fashion Week.
