Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, sought a communications consultant for the new homes at Sumner Buildings, located in the UKI region of the United Kingdom. This tender falls under the public relations services industry category. It has moved beyond the award stage and is now in the contract stage, with NewmanFrancis Limited confirmed as the supplier. The procurement utilised a limited procurement method, specifically a below-threshold, limited competition process. The contract, valued at £99,693.00 excluding VAT, spans from 1st August 2025 to 31st December 2030. Contracts were signed on 25th July 2025, indicating the procurement stage is complete.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in communications and public relations. Large businesses with expertise in these areas are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts with sub-central government public authorities like the City of London. As the contract involves long-term engagement, it presents a potential route for stable business growth, particularly by partnering with governmental bodies for extended projects. Businesses adept at handling consultations on urban development projects, especially those with experience in new housing initiatives, would find this opportunity particularly appealing. Such projects can enhance a company's portfolio and demonstrate its capability in delivering impactful public relations services in the public sector.
