## Summary

The tender entitled "VisitScotland Expo 2020 and 2021 - Host Venue" is a procurement process initiated by VisitScotland, located in Edinburgh, UK. This procurement falls under the industry category of Marketing/Tourist Board and has been classified as an "open" procedure, making it accessible for various suppliers. The tender period for submissions ended on 4th March 2019, with a subsequent award period commencing on the same date. The awarded contracts cover two specific events: Expo 2020 from 30th March to 3rd April 2020 and Expo 2021 from 19th April to 23rd April 2021.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the event hosting and venue management sectors. Companies that can provide suitable facilities capable of accommodating at least 7,000 square metres of clear exhibiting space are particularly well-placed to compete. Additionally, firms that are adept at collaborating with local authorities and that understand the geographic areas defined in the tender may find it advantageous. As VisitScotland is not seeking tenders from event management vendors or agents, businesses that focus specifically on venue provision will be better suited to benefit from this opportunity.
