Summary of the contracting process

The British Film Institute (BFI) is currently engaged in the re-tendering process for the 'Cinema Operation of the BFI IMAX' located in Central London, opposite Waterloo Station. This procurement falls under the management-related services category and is proceeding via a selective procurement method using the restricted procedure. The deadline for bid submissions is set for 16th December 2021, with the intended contract period starting from 19th July 2022 and lasting until 18th July 2027, including a possible five-year extension.

The presence of an in-house bid from the BFI suggests a strong emphasis on quality and strategic ideas, making it critical for competing entities to demonstrate innovative management approaches and financial viability in their proposals.

Notice Title

Cinema Operation of the BFI IMAX

Notice Description
