Summary of the contracting process

The National Archives, based in Richmond, England, has completed a procurement process under the "Media Services for Love Letters Exhibition" with a focus on promoting their exhibition. The contract, tagged under the industry category of promotional services (CPV code 79342200), involved a selective procurement method operating through a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement process reached the award stage on 22nd December 2025, with the awarded contract period running from 1st January 2026 to 30th April 2026. The buying organisation is The National Archives, and the contract was valued at £36,000. The tender required expertise in media services and offered an opportunity to support the exhibition "Love Letters" with targeted promotion strategies.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those specialising in promotional services and media campaigns, to leverage their expertise to gain visibility by working with a reputable national institution. Collaboration with The National Archives not only enhances a company's portfolio but also opens paths to future partnerships within the heritage and cultural sectors. The project is devoid of voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) considerations, thus focusing strictly on professional service delivery by capable SMEs that can meet the specific requirements of promotional campaigns within the given timeframe.
