Summary of the contracting process

The buying organisation, BlueLight Commercial Organisation, has completed a procurement process titled "Video and Podcast Animations for NPCC Pensions," under the industry category of video recording or reproducing apparatus. The procurement was specifically conducted through a limited method, described as a competitive quotation below the threshold. The procurement took place in the regions of England and Wales, marking its completion as of 14th March 2025. The tender period ended on 21st February 2025, with the contract period running from 14th March to 13th September 2025. The total award value is £13,230 GBP for services aimed at enhancing pension communications through engaging video and animations for the NPCC. The supplier, Big Sky Creative Ltd, an SME based in Barnsley, was awarded the contract.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the video production and creative sectors, given the emphasis on providing 3D and 2D graphic animations. Companies with expertise in drafting scripts, creating storyboards, and collaborating closely with clients to finalise content would find this contract particularly advantageous. The limited procurement method suggests a competitive environment, yet it also provides a less bureaucratic entry point for creative firms looking to expand their public sector portfolio. Engaging with contracts like this can pave the way for businesses to gain prestige and experience while contributing to meaningful projects within the public sector.
