UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons commissioned design services for UK Parliament Week Design – Speaker’s 650th Anniversary. The requirement covers design support services for this Parliament-related anniversary activity. It is a services procurement delivered for the House of Commons in Westminster, London. The work is relevant to design agencies, studios and independent design specialists able to develop and support visual materials for a high-profile public-sector parliamentary event. The buyer is a central government public authority, so suppliers familiar with public-sector communications, institutional branding and prominent civic or national campaigns may find the requirement particularly relevant. The procurement concerns one completed requirement rather than separate goods, construction works or multiple service packages.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Blast Design Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, covering one lot. The contract was signed on 15 May 2026 and runs from 18 May 2026 to 30 November 2027. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The successful supplier is Blast Design Limited, a London-based SME. The available process information shows that the buyer selected a supplier through a non-competitive below-threshold route, rather than evaluating competing tenders. This outcome identifies the requirement, route to market, supplier type and contract scale for businesses monitoring future House of Commons design activity.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the House of Commons for specialist design support connected with Parliament-related public communications and anniversary activity. A credible future competitor would need to provide professional design services suited to a high-profile institutional client, translate an important parliamentary milestone into clear and effective visual work, and support delivery across an extended programme. Relevant strengths include a strong design portfolio, reliable project management, the capacity to work with public-sector stakeholders and the ability to maintain consistent quality and brand standards. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only by a large agency. Firms with comparable design support experience should monitor this buyer’s requirements.
