Summary of the contracting process

The British Library Board has successfully completed the procurement process for the "002719 Agatha Christie AV Software" project, focusing on the design, installation, and construction of AV software services. This procurement, specific to the programming services sector, involved limited competition below the threshold and culminated in the award of a contract to CLAY INTERACTIVE LIMITED. Located at 96 Euston Road, London, the British Library served as the central government public authority in charge of the process. The contract, valued at £39,995, was signed on 30th October 2025 and is set to run until 30th June 2027.

This tender offers significant growth potential, primarily benefiting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in programming services and software development.
