Summary of the contracting process

The Pensions Regulator, a central government public authority based in Brighton, has completed a procurement for "CLA Licenses" within the services industry, specifically focusing on copyright licences. The contract was awarded to the Copyright Licensing Agency, headquartered in London, under a direct procurement method below the threshold, without competition. This procurement process, initiated on 25th June 2026, had its contract period start on 1st July 2026 and will conclude on 30th June 2027. The contract carries a gross value of £12,058.44, awarded for copyright consultancy services. The procurement stage has now reached completion.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in services related to copyright consultancy. Companies, particularly those that may collaborate directly with large organisations like the Copyright Licensing Agency, could benefit from similar tenders by showcasing their efficiency and capability to provide essential consultancy services. This procurement is particularly advantageous for enterprises that specialise in intellectual property and can deal with the complexities of copyright licensing at a competitive lower tier, given the nature of the direct award process utilised by the government body.
