Description

The United Kingdom (UK) is participating in Expo 2025, which runs from 13 April 2025 - 13 October 2025 and will take place in Osaka, Japan. The overarching theme of Expo 2025 is "Designing Future Society for Our Lives". Expo will welcome visitors from all over the world, allowing countries to build extraordinary pavilions and transform the host city for years to come.

His Majestys Government (HMG) has procured a supplier (referred to as the "Contractor") to manage the delivery of the Design, Build, Maintain, and Decommission (referred to as "DBMD") of the UK Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka.

The Contractor will take full design liability and responsibility for managing the end-to-end delivery of the physical UK Pavilion and will be responsible for taking forward HMGs creative vision, and delivering a design that can be built in the timeframes; with the materials available; can deliver our key messages and visitor experience; and meets Japanese construction regulations.

The Contractor is responsible for managing the construction of the designed UK Pavilion (using appropriately licenced contractors that can build in Japan), fitting it out, maintaining it for the six (6) months of Expo, and then decommissioning it at the end of Expo. The Contractor is responsible for managing any required consortium group members, subcontractors, or supply chain partners required to deliver the requirement via the proposed "Integrator" delivery model outlined in the Scope.

For clarity, the services under this DBMD Contract do not include requirements for full operational services (such as staffing, events, hospitality etc) during the Expo.
