Expo Beograd has entered into a significant agreement with EKO BOX KONTEJNERI, a Belgrade-based company, to supply containers essential for the logistical and service operations of the upcoming Expo 2027 exhibition. The framework agreement, valued at 117.4 million dinars (approximately $1.07 million USD) before value-added tax, marks a key step in preparing the exhibition site.
The procurement encompasses a wide range of container and modular structures, including office, sanitary, security, and storage units, as well as larger modular buildings. These facilities are critical for ensuring the smooth functioning of all systems at the Expo location during both the preparation and operational phases. The technical specifications detail 19 distinct positions for these varied units.
The organization of an event of this size requires the establishment of complete logistical and service infrastructure that will enable all systems at the location to function efficiently and reliably.
Danilo Jeriniฤ, director of Expo Beograd, emphasized the importance of this acquisition. He stated that establishing comprehensive logistical and service infrastructure is vital for an event of Expo 2027's scale. This particular procurement will provide necessary spaces for logistical and service teams and support facilities at the exhibition entrances, contributing to a seamless experience for participants and visitors.
The selection process involved two timely bids, with EKO BOX KONTEJNERI's offer being deemed the most advantageous. Expo 2027 Beograd is scheduled to run from May 15 to August 15, 2027, and anticipates attracting over four million visitors during its 93-day duration. This container procurement is one of many steps aimed at ensuring the exhibition's success and providing a functional environment for all attendees.
Each of these steps is important so that we can be ready to welcome participants and visitors from all over the world and ensure the smooth functioning of the exhibition during all 93 days.
