Notice Title

Production company for observational TV special for Armed Forces Week

Notice Description

Expressions of Interest are invited by The Ministry of Defence who would like to work with a production company who can produce an observational documentary special to be broadcast on a national public service broadcast television channel for transmission in the week beginning 24 June 2024 (Armed Forces Week). The production company must have proven experience of successful comparable programmes which have made it to transmission on a national public service broadcast television channel, ideally with organisations similar to the Armed Forces. They must have existing relationships with senior commissioners at a national public service broadcaster, and be able to demonstrate a very high likelihood of receiving a commission within the very short timescales. Because this programme is intended to contribute to the MOD's celebration of Armed Forces Week, the programme must be produced by June 2024 and transmitted in the week commencing 24 June 2024. Security Clearances may be required in certain circumstances for access to MOD property. The contract will be agreed using MOD terms and it is expected that the organisation will have requisite insurances. Expressions of interest should be sent to Brendan.hurrell100@mod.gov.uk by the 26th of April along with evidence of being able to fulfill the requirement. This must include appropriate evidence of agreement on a possible commission from senior commissioners at a national public service broadcaster
