Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Archives commissioned media services for a promotional campaign supporting its “Love Letters” exhibition. The requirement falls within promotional services and covers campaign activity intended to raise awareness of the exhibition. It is a services contract delivered in Richmond, England, with the buyer based at The National Archives in Richmond. The opportunity is relevant to media agencies, exhibition marketing specialists, public-sector communications providers and other businesses able to plan and deliver promotional campaigns for cultural programmes. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The named supplier is Anything Is Possible Media Limited, a Brighton-based SME, indicating that the requirement was accessible to a specialist smaller communications business rather than being limited to a large national agency.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The National Archives used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 22 December 2025 at 17:00 GMT, and the contract was awarded to Anything Is Possible Media Limited on 22 December 2025. The awarded value was £36,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 January 2026 to 30 April 2026. One supplier is identified for the full requirement. The procurement records promotional services as its main category, but does not set out a separate award-criteria weighting or detailed evaluation formula. The outcome is an active award for the stated campaign.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of The National Archives’ demand for targeted media support around exhibitions. Businesses well placed for a comparable requirement would be specialist media, marketing or communications agencies able to turn a cultural exhibition into a focused promotional campaign and manage delivery for a public-sector client. Smaller firms are commercially relevant because the procurement was expressly suitable for SMEs and the selected supplier is itself an SME. Credibility would come from demonstrating practical campaign planning, audience-focused promotion, reliable delivery for exhibition or cultural organisations, and the ability to work through a framework call-off route. Providers should be prepared to evidence comparable promotional work and clear campaign management capability.
