Exhibition Tenders and Contracts

See open exhibition tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Exhibition procurement covers the design, build and fit out of museum and gallery exhibitions, including graphics, display cases and audio visual hardware. Stands for trade shows, recruitment fairs and investment events are a second strand, bought as stand design and build, management or space. Exhibition and pavilion delivery overseas for cultural bodies is a third.

Museums buy through principal contractor tenders, or through frameworks and approved supplier lists, while stands are often CCS Communications Marketplace call-offs. Buyers include the Natural History Museum, Imperial War Museum, Science Museum Group, British Library, councils, universities and the Department for Business and Trade.

  • What kinds of exhibition work do public sector buyers tender for?

    Museum exhibition design, build and fit out is the largest single category, running from a single gallery refresh to a multi-year, multi-gallery renewal programme. Trade show and conference exhibition stands, exhibition graphics and display equipment, and cultural exhibition delivery services round out the rest.

  • Who buys exhibition work?

    Museums and galleries commission most of it, particularly around major anniversary or gallery renewal programmes. Local authorities and investment bodies buy exhibition stands for property and trade events, and government departments and cultural bodies commission exhibition delivery for events held overseas.

  • How do I find exhibition contracts before they are formally tendered?

    Read communications strategies, campaign calendars, event programmes and framework renewal dates, which show exhibition work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the communications teams behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
