Summary of the contracting process

London Metropolitan University, a sub-central government public authority, has awarded a direct contract for video editing and filming services under the title "Video agency". The procurement process was completed without competition due to its below-threshold classification. The contract, valued at £70,000 (gross amount £840,000), was officially awarded to TMAX Productions Ltd on 10th April 2025, with the contractual period starting on 16th May 2025 and ending on 9th April 2026. The university, located in London, aimed to secure services within the entertainment film and video-tape production category, contributing to the creative services industry in the UK.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth for businesses in the video production industry, particularly those that specialise in creative and entertainment sectors. Larger firms with the capability to manage substantial film and video-tape projects, and those with quick turnaround times, may find such tenders highly suitable. Although this contract has already been awarded, the structure of this procurement process hints at potential future opportunities for organisations prepared for direct procurement methods, especially those able to engage based on private negotiations for sub-threshold values.
