## Summary

Boston Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the project titled "Support for Boston Sponsorship Initiatives" in the advertising and marketing services category. This process involved a direct award method after an initial Request for Quotation (RFQ) exercise. The Council decided to proceed with a direct award due to the limited market response and the commercial potential identified in the single submission. The procurement is managed by Public Sector Partnership Services Ltd, with the award notice published on 23 January 2026. The contract period is set to commence on 28 January 2026, concluding on 28 January 2029. The activities will be carried out in the Boston area (UKF30) in the United Kingdom.

This opportunity can significantly benefit businesses operating in the advertising and marketing sector that can support local governmental initiatives through effective sponsorship campaigns. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) particularly interested in public authority partnerships, and those with strategic capabilities to drive significant sponsorship income, are well-suited for this type of engagement. Given its large contract value of £285,000, the initiative presents promising growth potential for businesses aiming to expand their portfolio in public sector partnerships.

## Notice

Boston Borough Council are commissioning services to help drive sponsorship income by supporting the promotion and delivery of sponsorship opportunities linked to council-led initiatives.

### Procurement Information

The Council initially undertook a Request for Quotation (RFQ) exercise in relation to the Boston Sponsorship Project. The RFQ resulted in the receipt of a single submission. Evaluation of the submitted quotation indicated that the commercial model and projected returns may exceed the Council's original expectations in respect of the project's potential profitability and overall commercial value. Having regard to the outcome of the RFQ exercise, the limited market response, and the commercial opportunities identified through the submission received, the Council has determined that it is appropriate to discontinue the RFQ process and proceed instead with a direct award. This transparency notice is published to provide clarity on the procurement approach adopted and the rationale for the decision in accordance with the Council's procurement and governance requirements.
