## Summary

The procurement process was conducted by the University of Edinburgh, focusing on the "Hannover Exhibition Fair." This procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically tied to education and medical research. Located in Edinburgh, the procurement stage is complete, having signed the contract on 12th January 2018, with a budget amounting to £117,000. The procurement method utilised was an open procedure, which allows for greater participation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in exhibition design and management, particularly those experienced in large-scale projects requiring technical expertise. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would find this area ripe for competition, especially those with a history of delivering similar services that enhance the visibility of organisations in educational or research sectors. The preferred supplier, Urban Design & Display Ltd, demonstrates the competitive landscape that potential bidders will face.

## Notice

In 2017 EPCC, the supercomputing centre at the University, was tasked by the European Commission with procuring, designing and running the Factories of the Future stand at the Hannover fair. The stand was procured according to Scottish procurement regulations. It was a 150 sqm stand. In 2018, EPCC has been asked to deliver this task again but with a larger 330sqm stand. We wish to use the original stand as our starting point and as such a different supplier would cause disproportionate technical difficulties, overcoming which would provide very poor value for money.
