## Summary

The London Legacy Development Corporation, a public authority sub-central government entity, has concluded the award stage for its "Music is Black" festival campaign. Located at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London, the event will take place in summer 2026. This procurement was conducted using a selective method under a framework, involving media planning, buying, optimisation, and creative support for themed programming. The contracting authority has entered into an agreement with The Elephant Room, a large-scale supplier, to execute this £150,000 contract, which spans from 3rd April 2026 to 30th September 2027.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in advertising, marketing, and business services within London. The framework-based approach and competitive environment suggest it would be ideal for established firms with a robust portfolio in media services and creative campaign execution. Companies looking to form strategic partnerships with public authorities in the cultural events sector may find this contract beneficial for broadening their influence and capitalising on the high footfall projected during the festival's duration.
