Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the BFI London Film Festival Print Branding Services, initiated by the British Film Institute (BFI), reached its award stage on 22nd June 2026. Based in London, the BFI seeks a provider for branding print services for the UK’s largest public film event, occurring every October. The process was conducted using a selective procurement method, namely a Competitive Flexible Procedure, and the tender was classified under goods, specifically printing and related services. The anticipated contract spans from 13th July 2026 to 12th July 2028, with the possibility of four one-year extensions, allowing potential continuity until July 2032. This selective procurement attracted three bids at its final stage, highlighting robust interest from SMEs.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in bespoke printing and related services, which includes digital printing. Companies with capabilities in large-scale, detailed, and quality-driven print solutions, particularly SMEs, stand to benefit from engaging with a high-profile cultural event like the BFI London Film Festival. The contract enables business growth not only through the direct value offered, estimated at £360,000, but also through the enhanced credibility and exposure associated with such a prestigious project. This is an attractive opportunity for firms aiming to expand their portfolio in the cultural events sector.
