UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Library Board commissioned an AV contractor to create ten pieces of digital content for its Conquest exhibition. The work covers audiovisual software development and digital content production, including motion picture and video production services and cultural event organisation services. The appointed contractor is expected to work closely with the exhibition’s 3D design team and AV hardware contractor, ensuring that the content, software and physical audiovisual installation are coordinated. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based at the British Library on Euston Road in London. This is a specialist exhibition and cultural-sector services requirement rather than a general IT, construction or equipment-supply contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CLAY INTERACTIVE LIMITED through a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and awarded on 11 August 2026, with performance running from 11 August 2026 to 27 February 2027. The awarded value is £50,000 excluding VAT, or £60,000 including VAT. There was one completed lot covering the full requirement, and the contract remains active. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition. The award relates to services for the British Library Board and covers the Conquest exhibition AV software development and digital content production requirement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the British Library for a small, focused audiovisual production team able to deliver multiple digital content outputs as part of a public exhibition. A credible competitor would need practical capability in AV software development, motion picture or video production, and the production of coordinated digital experiences for cultural or exhibition settings. The requirement also favours suppliers able to collaborate effectively with separate 3D design and AV hardware specialists, manage technical dependencies and deliver content that works as part of an installed visitor experience. Smaller specialist businesses may be well placed, as the successful supplier is recorded as an SME. Expertise combining creative production with reliable technical coordination would be important.
