UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of London appointed a marketing and branding lead for Leadenhall Market. The work covers leading marketing and branding, running the initial tender for key marketing services, and providing ongoing marketing and branding advice. It is a marketing services requirement for the market, rather than a purchase of physical goods or construction work. The buyer is The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, and the work is focused on Leadenhall Market in the City of London. The selected supplier is Kay Copeland Ltd.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Kay Copeland Ltd. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and runs from 20 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its gross value is £67,080. The requirement was handled as a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. The published outcome identifies the marketing services being purchased but does not provide a separate award date or explain the evaluation criteria. The contract is active.

For suppliers assessing similar future work for the City of London, this award demonstrates demand for a joined-up marketing and branding lead who can both procure key marketing services and provide continuing strategic advice for Leadenhall Market. A credible competitor would need to show relevant marketing and brand leadership experience, the ability to shape and run a tender for specialist services, and the capacity to advise on the market’s ongoing positioning and promotion. The limited-competition route used here indicates that suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate a strong, directly relevant track record and to engage effectively in a selective process. The requirement is focused on a single established City of London market, so experience working with place-based destinations or visitor-facing brands would be pertinent.
