Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council commissioned a Culture Host service involving the design of a website. The procurement is categorised as website design services. The council is the buying organisation, and the work is for Leeds. The available description identifies the service by the Culture Host name but does not set out further website functions or the wider service scope, so the confirmed requirement is focused on website design rather than a broader digital or cultural programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Creative Tourist Ltd. Leeds City Council made a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and runs from 28 November 2026 to 27 November 2028. Its gross value is £27,594. The award is active, and the contract is active. The procurement was organised as one lot, which is complete. The contracting information does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements; the recorded route was a direct award rather than a competed evaluation.

For suppliers assessing comparable future work from Leeds City Council, this award shows demand for a defined website design service associated with Culture Host. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to design and deliver a website within a modest, focused public-sector commission, with the capacity to meet the council’s requirements over a fixed contract term. Creative Tourist Ltd was selected through a direct award without competition, so this outcome does not establish a competed technical standard, accreditation requirement or specific experience threshold. Firms with relevant website design capability and a clear record of delivering similar commissioned work can use the award as evidence of the type and scale of requirement the council has purchased.
