Exhibition stands

Tender description

AHDB are looking for a supplier to deliver overseas stand build requirements. The Framework Agreement with a single provider will be for 2 years with the option to extend for a further 2 periods of 12 months each. The agreement will commence April 2019 (due to lead time), with the first build being for Fruit Logistica, held in Berlin in February 2020. Potato Europe rotates between Germany, Belgium, France or the Netherlands. Communication in these countries is vital, and therefore we are looking for a team who can preferably communicate in verbal English, French and German, although this is not a pass/fail requirement. Budgets are tight (approx 45 000 GBP per event) There will be a break clause after each year. AHDB Potatoes usually takes a large stand space (150 m2 approx.) in the centre of the trade stand marquee on hard standing flooring and has traditionally exhibited alongside industry co-exhibitors on an approx. 150 m2 island space. The co-exhibitor stands usually take the form of individual clearly identifiable areas (eg: “Pods”, or branded walled areas) on the main stand, to enable our industry to display their own branding and products, whilst simultaneously being close to the communal stand hospitality and meetings areas. For both events, we are seeking a supplier who can supply and provide us with an innovative, attractive and functional stand design (including ancillary services). The stands need to be open and welcoming for visitors and also function well for the exhibitors in terms of messaging, branding, hospitality, meeting space, comfort and sufficient and efficient storage.
