Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Fire Commission procured photography services for its communications and operational records. The requirement covers photography at London Fire Brigade events, staff portraits, and images documenting new personal protective equipment, equipment and vehicles. This is a professional photography services contract, classified under CPV 22315000 (photographs), rather than a supply of photographic equipment. Work may be delivered in London, elsewhere in the United Kingdom, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and other locations worldwide. The buyer is London Fire Commission, based at 169 Union Street, Southwark, London. The scope suits providers able to support both planned communications work and photography of operational assets and activities across varied locations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective restricted procedure. The tender deadline was 15 June 2026 at 14:00. The contract period runs from 9 August 2026 to 8 August 2029. The award was made on 29 August 2026 to In-Press Photography Ltd, with an awarded value of £0 GBP. The contract covers the full photography services requirement for London Fire Commission. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The procurement was categorised as services, and the recorded suitability assessment did not reserve participation for SMEs or voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award outcome is therefore the relevant current position for this requirement.

For a photography business assessing future demand from London Fire Commission, this procurement indicates a requirement for a broad service rather than a single campaign: event coverage, staff portraiture and accurate visual records of personal protective equipment, vehicles and other equipment. A credible competitor would need professional photographers able to work in public-sector and operational environments, produce consistent communications-quality images, and manage varied assignments across London, the UK and potentially international locations. Experience handling people, live events and technical or safety-critical assets would be relevant. The restricted route and the absence of SME suitability suggest that future competitors should be able to demonstrate established capacity, dependable delivery and the resources to respond across the full range of work.
