Summary of the contracting process

The Pensions Regulator has completed a direct procurement process for the provision of motion picture licences, which was undertaken without competition due to being below the threshold limits. The procurement process falls under the services category, specifically "Motion picture and video services," and has been awarded to the Motion Picture Licensing Company Limited. The contracting process concluded with a signed contract on 30th June 2026, which will remain active until 29th June 2027, with an overall contract value of £29,438.22. The buying organisation operates from Telecom House, Brighton, and the project pertains to a location in the UKJ21 region of the United Kingdom.

This contract provides an opportunity for businesses specialising in motion picture and video services, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer niche solutions or services aligned with such licensing needs. By understanding and fulfilling these licensing requirements efficiently, businesses could establish long-term relationships with public sector buyers like The Pensions Regulator. The direct procurement method may indicate a preference for reliable suppliers with proven expertise, suggesting that businesses with a solid reputation and experience in similar undertakings will be well-positioned for similar opportunities in the future.
