Nokia organizes and participates at numerous external events at various locations around the globe. Events typically host exhibitions, trade shows, sales conferences, customer and supplier meetings, and other similar activities. Events might be held at various locations such as major exhibition centers, hotels, sports halls and restaurants, depending on the event magnitude.
Upon selecting the venue for the upcoming event, previously Nokia contracted each provider one by one, which resulted in a highly fragmented supplier base for this type of service.
The fragmented supplier base
-
poses contractual risks to Nokia; and
-
results in less than desired operational efficiency.
In scope of this challenge
Nokia seeks integrator to step in between event organizers and applicable Nokia entity by facilitating contractual harmonization and offering a leaner operational solution. Both partial, and whole/packaged ideas will be considered. Offerings should include geographic capability.
Out of scope of this challenge
Event management solutions such as planning, engineering, construction, project management are not of prime interest under this challenge. Nokia however welcomes innovative ideas and proposals beyond the ‘in scope boundaries’.
