## Summary

The procurement process conducted by National Highways involved a direct acquisition of the Annual Performing Rights Society Licence for 2025, titled "UK7 - Contract Details Notice." Situated in Guildford, National Highways represents a central government public authority headquartered at Bridge House, 1 Walnut Tree Close. The licence procurement falls within the miscellaneous membership organisations services category and follows a "light touch" procurement regime. The process was completed without competition due to its below-threshold value. A contract with PRS & PPL Limited, an SME based in Leicester, was signed on the 2nd of September 2025, active until the 30th of September 2027, with a contract value of £92,000 GBP.

This procurement presents small to medium enterprises (SMEs) providing similar services with the opportunity to engage in future opportunities with the central government. Businesses focused on music licensing and rights management are particularly well-suited to compete in such tenders. Engaging in these projects allows companies to build long-term relationships with government clients, expand their service portfolio, and enhance their credibility in the industry. Therefore, staying informed about such procurement activities could significantly benefit enterprises in the performing rights and phonographic performance sectors.
