Summary of the contracting process

The British Library Board, a public authority part of the central government based in London, has completed a contract for the production and distribution of graphic panels for the Living Knowledge Network Agatha Christie Exhibition. The procurement process, identified by tender ID 002831, involved a limited competition method, falling below the threshold. It is categorised under the services industry, specifically printing services, and was concluded with an award to Stylographics Limited. The contract period runs from 23rd June 2026 to 30th October 2026, with a total gross value of £64,020. Key documentation was published on 7th July 2026, marking the procurement stage as 'Award' and 'Contract' complete.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in printing services.

Additionally, businesses with capabilities in producing and distributing exhibition materials can leverage this type of contract to enhance their portfolios and expand their client base within the cultural and government sectors. The partnership with a central government entity like the British Library Board could open avenues for further collaboration and contracts, fostering business growth and stability.
