UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by The Queen Elizabeth Conference Centre, a central government public authority, for the provision of "Creative, Digital and Marketing Services". Located in London, the procurement falls under the services category, specifically marketing services, and uses a limited competition method due to being below threshold. The awarding stage has been completed, and the contract was signed on 18th August 2025. The contract period spans from 18th August 2025 to 17th August 2028, with a total value of £46,512 GBP. The process adhered to internal procurement policies, although a procedural error meant a UK4 Tender Notice was not initially issued.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses specialising in creative, digital, and marketing sectors. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), particularly those with expertise in marketing services, would find this contract well-suited to their capabilities. Although the procurement process was limited to below-threshold competition, it highlights the need for agility and compliance with detailed specifications and guidelines for similar tenders. Businesses looking to expand their portfolio within the public sector may find such limited competitions an accessible entry point.
