Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Signage and Artwork" was conducted by Dixons Academies Trust, a sub-central government authority based in Bradford, United Kingdom. This process falls under the category of goods, specifically focusing on the provision of signage and artwork across the Trust's academies. The procurement employed a limited method indicating below threshold competition, culminating in the award stage on 23rd July 2025. Clearsilver Brand Marketing Limited, a large organisation from Leeds, was awarded the contract valued at £150,000. The contract period is set from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2029, with delivery expected across the UKE region.

This tender presents substantive opportunities for businesses specialising in signage and artistic services, particularly those with experience working with educational institutions. While the procurement was limited and below the threshold, it highlights the potential for similar future invitations, offering growth prospects for SMEs capable of providing competitive bids. In the recent tender, three out of four final stage bids were from SMEs, suggesting that agile and innovative small to medium-sized enterprises are well-placed to compete effectively in such procurement processes.
