2023/003 - Multi Party Framework Agreement for Exhibition Design Services for a selection of trade and knowledge events

Descriptions

Enterprise Ireland proposes to establish a framework agreement of qualifying competent suppliers of Exhibition Design Services for a selection of trade and knowledge events. The events comprise:  national group stands at international trade shows;  staging and display requirements for trade missions and conferences and seminars,  arrangements for one-to-one meetings,  ad-hoc events and branding requirements. It is envisaged that approximately 20 exhibition stands and up to 10 other projects will be organised annually in several countries worldwide. The exhibition stands will vary in overall size from approximately 10sqm to approximately 200sqm. Enterprise Ireland will endeavour to facilitate adequate time for the planning and delivery of each project where possible. Nevertheless, tenderers are advised to expect requests to work on projects with fast turnaround requirements and compressed timelines (e.g., a couple of days-notice for small jobs such as graphics for a podium and/or stage backdrop using existing branding guidelines; or less than five months for a large overseas exhibition stand). It’s estimated that for the whole of 2023 (including the period prior to establishment of this framework), the geographical range of events requiring the services of an exhibition designer will be spread as follows:  Ireland – 32%  Europe – 42%  Americas – 16%  Middle East and Africa – 5%  Asia – 5% The primary areas of service delivery that will be required under this framework agreement are outlined in the tender documents.
