## Summary

The National Lottery Community Fund has recently completed the procurement process for a social media partnership aimed at promoting Bradford City of Culture 2025. The tender was awarded under the 'open procedure' method to KOMI Group Ltd, a company based in Manchester. This contract, with a value of £88,000, falls within the 'Advertising and marketing services' industry category. The partnership involves creating engaging social content to highlight National Lottery investments in the event, aiming to cover various cultural and community activities throughout the year. The award stage was concluded on 8 July 2025, with the contract period starting on 14 July 2025 and ending on 31 October 2025. Locations covered under this contract include British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in marketing and social media content creation, particularly those experienced in engaging storytelling and cultural promotion. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with core competencies in these areas could have been well-positioned to compete for such contracts, given the project's broad audience reach across multiple regions. The project offers visibility by associating with a notable cultural event backed by a respected national organisation, the National Lottery Community Fund, thus promising substantial business growth potential for the successful bidder. Businesses keen on expanding their portfolio in public sector contracts or those aiming to leverage cultural event marketing would find such opportunities highly lucrative.

## Notice

The NLPU is seeking a partner who can turn this activity into four engaging films that will clearly cover off one sector of funding.
