## Summary

The British Film Institute (BFI), a sub-central government public authority, has completed the procurement process for the "BFI London Film Festival Chauffeur Services," with Addison Lee Ltd appointed as the supplier. The contract, valued at £120,000 (gross: £144,000), encompasses chauffeur services across London for the festival running from 8th to 19th October 2025. The procurement process followed an open competition method, conducted below the financial threshold, culminating on 15th August 2025. The award phase is now active, with the contract period starting on 3rd October 2025 and potentially extending to 30th October 2028, demonstrating a commitment to ongoing partnerships for essential festival services.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth in the transport service industry, particularly for businesses specialised in high-end passenger transport and VIP guest logistics. Companies like Addison Lee, which have the resources to manage a high volume of luxury car journeys and the flexibility to integrate with event production teams, can leverage such contracts to solidify their market position. Enterprises at a larger scale that can deliver quality services aligned with festival requirements, such as providing a dedicated car fleet for VIP transport, are ideally suited to compete in similar procurements, enhancing their portfolio within the public sector and events industry.

## Notice

The BFI London Film Festival takes place Wednesday 8th Oct 2025 - Sunday 19th Oct 2025. The annual event presents c.170 feature films and 100 short films from more than 70 countries, and in 2024 attracted attendances in excess of 230,000 across London and in cinemas throughout the UK. An integral part of both festivals' operation, the transport of guests and important staff around the festival's main venues, guest accommodation and airport/train stations. A total of 900 car journeys were made during the 2024 edition of BFI London Film festival, delivered by a combination of chauffeurs and taxis. Central for this service is the requirement for a small fleet of cars focused on our red-carpet premieres. This fleet is required to work very closely with the festival's guest transport and red-carpet production teams ensuring the highest level of service to festival VIPs.
