Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Public Performance Licence 2025-2026" was initiated by HM Land Registry, a central government public authority located at Trafalgar House in Croydon, United Kingdom. The procurement involved a direct method, executed below the threshold without competition, due to the unique capabilities of the supplier, Motion Picture Licensing Company Limited, the only entity able to provide the necessary licensing services. This tender fell under the category of miscellaneous business-related services and was intended to cover HM Land Registry offices across various UK regions. The contract, valued at £3,153,240, started on 4th May 2025 and ended on 3rd May 2026, but it has since been terminated as of 29th May 2026, following its completion.

This tender offered significant business opportunities, particularly for niche service providers capable of offering specialized licensing solutions. Businesses with expertise in public performance licensing or related legal provisions could find this type of tender highly relevant, especially those capable of offering unique services that match the bespoke requirements of public authorities. While this specific tender was awarded to Motion Picture Licensing Company Limited due to their specialized capabilities, similar future opportunities may arise that could benefit small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or other businesses seeking to expand within the public sector by providing tailored service offerings.
