What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Crown Estate is the primary landowner and long-term steward of Regent Street, owning and managing the vast majority of the street and surrounding estate. As freeholder, The Crown Estate is responsible for the strategic management, operation and development of Regent Street, including the coordination of events, activations, public realm improvements and commercial activity across the estate.
Regent Street forms a part of The Crown Estate's wider Central London portfolio, and any activity taking place on the street requires engagement with and, where appropriate, approval from The Crown Estate as the principal landowner and estate manager.
The work covers all requirements associated with the delivery of the Regent Street flag installation, including:
Obtaining the necessary advertising consents, permits and road closure approvals from Westminster City Council.
Production of the flags.
Installation and removal (de-rig) of the flags.
The venue hire and management fee payable to The Crown Estate.
As the landowner and estate manager of Regent Street, the Crown Estate is responsible for coordinating and managing these elements as part of the overall contract.
The flags will be designed by the NFL and will incorporate a London-specific theme, including the Mayor of London branding.

Single supplier - intellectual property or exclusive rights
A direct award is necessary for this procurement as The Crown Estate is the sole land freeholder and operator responsible for the Regent Street flag installation infrastructure and associated street dressing rights. The flags must be installed on Regent Street as part of the activation, and no alternative supplier can provide access to, or authorisation for, the use of these locations.
In accordance with Schedule 5, paragraph 5 (a) of the Procurement Act 2023, we consider the justification for this direct award to be compliant, with the condition that "due to a particular supplier having intellectual property rights or other exclusive rights, only that supplier can supply the goods, services or works required.
