UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council buys citizenship ceremony gifts incorporating a Council- and Home Office-approved design. The requirement is for commemorative statuettes or ornaments, supplied for citizenship ceremonies. Delivery covers locations across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a supply contract for finished gift items rather than ceremony services or general promotional merchandise. The named buyer is Peterborough City Council; the gifts are intended for ceremonies run by the Council.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Sovereign Insignia Limited. The award was made on 30 April 2026, under a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. The single lot covers the citizenship gifts. The awarded value is £26,500 excluding VAT (£31,800 including VAT). The contract period runs from 8 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. The gifts must incorporate an approved Council and Home Office design. The published procurement information does not set out a scored evaluation basis, as the contract was placed without competition.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from Peterborough City Council, this award demonstrates demand for designed commemorative gifts used at citizenship ceremonies and delivered across England. A credible competitor would need to produce or source suitable statuettes or ornaments and work accurately to designs approved by both the Council and the Home Office. The buyer selected a specialist promotional merchandise supplier through a direct award without competition, so relevant product experience, dependable supply and the ability to meet the approval and delivery requirements would help establish credibility if the requirement returns to market. The award went to a small or medium-sized supplier, showing that the requirement was fulfilled by a business of that scale; it does not establish that participation was restricted by business size.
