Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London for a project titled "Writing and communications support for our positioning statements and annual review." This contract, categorised under services and related to miscellaneous business and business-related services, involves providing writing and communication support services. The procurement method used was direct, below threshold, and without competition, marking the process complete. The associated contract, signed on 21 April 2023, commenced on 25 April 2023 and is set to conclude on 31 March 2027. The contract is valued at £61,852.00, with a gross amount of £74,222.40.

This contract provides significant opportunities for businesses adept in communications and business services to showcase their expertise in supporting high-profile projects. Companies specialising in writing, strategic communications, and business consultancy can find growth potential by engaging with sub-central government entities like the City of London. Although this specific contract was awarded directly, understanding the needs of such projects can position other businesses for future opportunities where competitive tendering might be involved. Therefore, enterprises with a strong portfolio in delivering detailed communication support would be well-suited to pursue such opportunities and expand their presence in this industry category.
