UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Art Acquisition Form - Julianknxx" was initiated by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, based in London. This procurement falls under the 'goods' category, specifically focusing on art supplies. The process was conducted using a direct procurement method below the threshold, without competition, and has reached the award stage. Key events include the procurement period from 22nd January 2026 to 22nd March 2026, and the contract being signed on 22nd January 2026. The procurement relates to a central government public authority and was completed on 5th May 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the art sector, particularly those specialising in art supplies and acquisitions, offering a contract value of £27,000 gross. Although this specific tender was awarded directly to Edel Assanti, a London-based SME, similar future opportunities could open doors for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in supplying goods to government art collections. Businesses that can offer unique art pieces or have established relationships within the art community may find similar tenders valuable for achieving business growth and gaining government contracts.
