    "description": "Lot Structure: In order to review a full range of available options and identify the most suitable solutions for the University, in terms of both meeting the University's specification requirements and obtaining best value for money, this procurement has been divided into 2 lots: Lot 1: Large Photography Jobs / High-end Photography Lot 2: Small Photography Jobs / Quick turnaround projects Tenderers may submit a response in relation to any of the three lots or may submit a response to both lots in any combination. Please note that potential suppliers are required to submit a separate Selection Questionnaire response for each lot that they are applying for. For clarity, tenderers who wish to be considered for all two lots will need to submit a separate Selection Questionnaire response for each of those two lots. Potential suppliers are advised, that the University reserves the right to award both, one, or none of the two lots - in any combination - as a result of this procurement process. E-Tendering Portal: The University is utilising an electronic tendering tool, In-Tend (https://intendhost.co.uk/ universityofsouthampton) to manage this procurement and to communicate with potential suppliers and/or tenderers (as appropriate). All documentation in relation to this tender can be downloaded from In-Tend. Tenderers are advised that there will be no hard copy documents issued and all communications with the University, including the submission of Invitation to Tender responses will be conducted via In-Tend. Regular monitoring of the portal is the responsibility of the tenderer.

        "description": "The University requires a framework of professional photographers to deliver exceptional imagery to appropriately represent the University in the increasingly competitive HE (Higher Education) market. All photography taken on behalf of the University must adhere to the University brand. Information on the University's brand guidelines can be found at File 4 Appendix 1 - UoS Brand Imagery, further information can be provided upon appointment. Imagery is a key part of our brand. For the University to ensure high-quality photographs to support print and digital materials we require professional photographers to showcase the University through selling university life, world-leading teaching and research and compelling profiles of staff, students, alumni and facilities. The supplier is required to capture imagery to work across multiple platforms, they will need to be aware of the different specific shot styles. This can include shooting: - images in landscape and portrait - the same image multiple times in different angles -the same set up with different models The commissioner will be on location to guide these decisions, but the photographer will need to be experienced to execute these styles, advise and think creatively. The framework of suppliers will provide services across the whole University including other professional services, academic units, research centres and arts venues. All photography taken on behalf of the University must adhere to the University brand guidelines as well as considerations around campaign and channel requirements. All work supplied to the University must be subject to quality control processes by the commissioned supplier before it is supplied.",
