## Summary

The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology bought exhibition stand space and associated exhibitor rights for the UK Space Agency at Space-Comm Expo Europe 2027. The event takes place at ExCeL London, so the work is tied to providing a presence at this specific exhibition rather than general event services. The service category is event services. SPACE-COMM LTD organised the event and supplied its exhibition space and related exhibitor services. The requirement was for the agency to exhibit at the event in London.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. SPACE-COMM LTD was selected and signed the contract on 24 September 2026. The contract runs from 25 September 2026 to 25 February 2027. Its value is £29,650 excluding VAT (£35,580 including VAT). The Department used a below-threshold direct award without competition, concluding that SPACE-COMM LTD was the event organiser and exclusive provider of the exhibition space and related services, and that there was no reasonable alternative supplier for access to this particular event. The procurement was a single lot, and the award is for services.

For suppliers assessing similar requirements from the Department, this award shows demand for an exhibition presence at a named space-industry event, including stand space and associated exhibitor rights. A credible competitor would need to secure access to the specific event and demonstrate that it can provide the required stand space and exhibitor services. Event-specific control matters: the buyer relied on the organiser’s exclusive provision of space and related services, and treated this as leaving no reasonable alternative supplier. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was delivered by a specialist business rather than requiring a large general contractor. Relevant experience would include organising or servicing exhibitions and delivering exhibitor access at scale.

## Notice

The contract is for the provision of exhibition stand space and associated exhibitor rights at Space-Comm Expo Europe 2027, taking place at ExCeL London on 24-25 February 2027. SPACE-COMM LTD is the organiser of the event and the exclusive provider of exhibition space and related exhibitor services. No reasonable alternative supplier is able to provide access to exhibition space at this specific event. Accordingly, the contracting authority has concluded that competition is absent for technical reasons and that the contract may only be supplied by a particular supplier. The direct award is therefore justified under Schedule 5, Paragraph 6 of the Procurement Act 2023.
