## Summary

The Sea Fish Industry Authority is seeking proposals for the "Seafish International Trade Exhibition Support" project, aimed at enhancing international seafood trade. This tender is currently in the Tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 20th October 2017. The contract, initially for one year with an option to extend for up to two additional years, involves managing exhibition stands at major international seafood exhibitions in locations such as Boston, Brussels, and Tokyo. The procurement process employs an open procedure and focuses on the provision of goods related to exhibition support.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in exhibition management, event logistics, and graphic production. Companies with expertise in designing engaging exhibition spaces and managing logistics in international settings will find a good fit for their services here. The successful bidder will play a crucial role in showcasing the seafood industry at prominent trade shows, ultimately fostering business growth and networking opportunities within the sector.

## Notice

Funded by statutory levy, payable by industry, the Sea Fish Industry Authority (Seafish) was established by the 1981 Fisheries Act. With circa 80% of the seafood consumed in the UK being imported and 60% of the domestic catch being exported it is clear that international trade is vital to all sectors of the industry. We wish to appoint a full service exhibition contractor initially on a one year contract with an option to extend for a further two years. The successful bidder will be required to manage all aspects of the stand or pavilion at the exhibition from booking space and stand construction to production of graphics. The supplier will not be expected to man the stand during exhibition hours but will be expected to ensure that it is clean and fit for purpose during the exhibition.
