Summary of the contracting process

The National Archives commissioned media services for a promotional campaign for its “Revolution 250: The Making of the USA” exhibition. The work covers promoting the exhibition and falls within promotional services (CPV 79342200). It is a services procurement for The National Archives, whose address is in Richmond, England, with delivery associated with postcode TW9 4DU. The requirement is therefore suited to agencies that plan and deliver public-facing exhibition or cultural campaigns, including media strategy, campaign planning, audience outreach, content promotion and related promotional activity. The opportunity concerns a specific exhibition campaign rather than general archive, museum or document-management services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 22 December 2025 at 5pm. The National Archives awarded the contract to Anything Is Possible Media Limited on 22 December 2025 for £90,000 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 January 2026 to 30 November 2026. The award is active, and the contract covers the full media-services campaign for the exhibition. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The recorded outcome is one award to one supplier; the published information does not set out separate lots or a scored evaluation breakdown.

This award demonstrates demand from The National Archives for a complete media and promotional campaign supporting a major public exhibition. A credible future competitor would need to show practical experience of turning cultural or heritage content into audience reach, with the ability to develop and deliver coordinated media activity rather than provide isolated advertising services. Relevant strengths may include campaign strategy, audience insight, media planning and buying, public relations, digital promotion, creative content coordination and performance reporting. The requirement was suitable for an SME and was accessed through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work should understand framework routes and be able to operate efficiently within a defined public-sector campaign brief.
