## Summary

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) is procuring event services for a stand at Gulfood 2027, at Dubai World Trade Centre in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The supplier will design, produce, build, deliver, dismantle and dispose of the stand, and provide audiovisual equipment, graphics, technical services and related production. The stand is intended to showcase British meat supplied by AHDB, its partner and co-exhibitors. It must let visitors see and taste the products and provide exhibitors with a professional setting for meeting new and existing clients. The work brings together exhibition design and construction with the technical and production services needed to deliver the stand.

The process reached tender: AHDB invited offers through an open competition. The deadline for enquiries was 21 October 2026 at noon, and the bid deadline set by the buyer was 28 October 2026 at noon. The contract period runs from 30 November 2026 to 30 April 2027. The estimated value is £75,000 excluding VAT (£90,000 including VAT). There is one lot, and the opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Evaluation gives 75% weighting to technical quality, 15% to commercial considerations and 10% to social value. Bids may be submitted electronically through the Atamis eSourcing portal.

This requirement suits exhibition and event suppliers able to manage a complete stand project, from design and production through construction, technical delivery and dismantling. Relevant capability includes audiovisual provision, graphic production and coordination of associated production requirements. Suppliers will need to create a professional space that supports product presentation and tasting as well as exhibitors’ client meetings. The single-lot requirement combines these disciplines, so businesses with the capacity to coordinate them in one delivery, or to bring suitable specialist partners, are well placed to compete. AHDB marks the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The evaluation places most emphasis on technical quality, with commercial considerations and social value also assessed.
