Lot Information

Lot 1

MG ALBA published the related voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice with a view to extending the existing contract with Astar Media for the delivery and project management of a Gaelic short-film competition ("FilmG"). FilmG is a Gaelic short film competition promoting and encouraging all aspects of filmmaking from young people to industry professionals.

This Award Notice is for the contract extension, without a call for competition, in accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (regulation 72(1)(b)). Additional services have become necessary and a change of contractor would result in significant inconvenience /substantial duplication of costs for MG ALBA. The contract duration commenced in July 2024 for 9 months.

Options: The maximum contract value is 130,000GBP ex VAT, detailed as follows: -100,000GBP ex VAT for services (70,000GBP of which shall be for project management and 30,000GBP shall be for workshops); and -the remaining 30,000GBP ex VAT shall be provisional on MG ALBA being in a position to proceed with the instruction of services to Astar Media to deliver the Awards part of the overall services.

Procurement Information

The increase in price does not exceed 50% of the initial contract value.
