## Summary

The University of the West of England procured music licensing royalty services for its hospitality operations and Centre for Music. The requirement covers services provided by authors, meaning the licensing and payment of royalties associated with music use in these settings. Delivery is in the South West of England, with the buyer based at the University’s Frenchay Campus in Bristol. This is a services opportunity concerning institutional hospitality and music-related activities, rather than the supply of physical goods or construction work. Businesses relevant to this requirement include organisations that administer music rights, provide licensing services, or manage royalty payments for public-facing venues and educational or cultural facilities.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. PPL PRS Limited was selected as supplier on 16 July 2026. The awarded value is £25,319.64, and the recorded contract period runs from 17 July 2026 to 18 July 2026. The tender submission deadline was 16 July 2026 at 5pm. The procurement used a procedure recorded as “Other - ss”. The tender’s estimated value was also £25,319.64. The tender description refers to hospitality and Centre for Music licence royalties until 5 September 2026, while the structured contract period records the shorter period above. The opportunity was classified as a services procurement and the process status is complete.

This award indicates demand from the University of the West of England for a specialist music-licensing and royalty administration service supporting hospitality and Centre for Music activities. A credible future competitor would need direct expertise in music rights licensing, author or performer royalty arrangements, accurate usage administration and reliable payment processes. Experience serving venues or organisations with public-facing hospitality and cultural or educational functions would be relevant. The requirement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that the buyer considered established organisational capacity important. The selected supplier, PPL PRS Limited, is recorded as a large organisation, providing a useful benchmark for the scale and type of provider that satisfied this procurement.
