The Greater London Authority (GLA) intends to award a contract for broadcasting and audio-visual services to support its statutory and governance functions.
The scope of services includes:
These services are critical to ensuring transparency, democratic accountability, and effective external communications.
Justification for Direct Award
The current contract for these services is due to expire and does not include any remaining extension options. Continuity of service is essential to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of the GLA's statutory and public-facing functions.
The services operate within a complex and highly integrated broadcasting environment. The incumbent supplier has established infrastructure, configured technical interfaces, and embedded operational processes tailored to the GLA's requirements.
Transitioning to an alternative supplier within the required timeframe would require:
These activities cannot be completed without disproportionate technical risk and a material likelihood of service disruption. As such, only the incumbent supplier can meet the immediate requirement without unacceptable operational risk.
This award is intended to rely on:
This contract is being awarded as an interim measure only. The GLA has confirmed through market engagement that there is a competitive supplier market for these services.
A competitive procurement process is currently underway to establish a long-term broadcasting services contract. The new contract will replace this interim arrangement as soon as practicable.
