The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), based in London, has concluded a procurement process titled "GAC Transport to and from Beijing" in the services industry category, specifically focusing on transport services excluding waste transport. The procurement method used was selective, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement.

The total value of the contract amounted to £34,029.32, and the services are to be delivered to the postcode SW1A 2BQ in England.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in logistics and transport services, particularly those specialised in the handling of artworks.

It reflects a competitive landscape where businesses focusing on specialised transport services can expand their portfolio and engage in high-profile governmental projects. Additionally, it showcases the potential benefits of being part of framework agreements for securing selective call-off contracts.
