The procurement process led by Tees Valley Combined Authority, identified as a public authority within the sub-central government category, focused on providing fundraising development support for the Tees Valley Artists of the Year 2025. This tender, referencing ID TVCA-PROC-0547, was initiated under legal provisions from the 2023 legislation. The procurement was conducted directly below the threshold without competition, culminating in the contract award to 117 Consulting Limited. While the initial contract period runs from 1 May 2025 to 30 April 2026, there is an option to extend by 12 months if certain conditions, such as the successful delivery of services and availability of secured funding, are met.
