Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation entered into a partnership agreement with City AM Ltd for services classified as telecommunications services, excluding telephone and data transmission services. The procurement is categorised as a service requirement and relates to one lot. The buying organisation is The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, with the work associated with the City of London and London. The published title identifies the arrangement as the City AM and City of London Corporation Partnership Agreement. The available description records that the buyer approached one supplier for a price and service details, but does not set out a fuller operational scope. Businesses considering comparable work should therefore view this as a communications-related partnership requirement for a London public authority.

This procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. It was completed through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, after one supplier was approached. City AM Ltd received the award for the single lot. The contract was signed on 30 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its gross value is £90,000. The evaluation basis was the supplier’s price and service details obtained through the direct approach. The award is active and the contract remains active; no cancellation or termination is recorded. The contracting authority is The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, and the selected supplier is City AM Ltd.

This award provides a clear reference point for suppliers serving public authorities with communications-related telecommunications services and partnership arrangements. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate a service offering that fits a defined public-sector partnership, provide clear pricing, and explain the service in sufficient detail for a buyer making a direct commercial assessment. Experience working with a city authority or other public body would help establish credibility, particularly where the requirement is handled below threshold and without competition. Suppliers should be able to present a concise, deliverable service proposition rather than only generic media or telecommunications capability. The contract also indicates demand from the City of London Corporation for this type of externally provided service.
