Summary of the contracting process

The British Library, located at 96 Euston Road, London, is overseeing a procurement process for "Film production for Qatar Digital Library." This procurement falls under the services category, specifically entertainment film and video-tape production. The tender, which has reached the award stage, was completed using a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold value. The contract, worth £10,000 exclusive of taxes, was signed on 5th March 2025, with a project duration from 6th March 2025 to 30th September 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in film production, particularly those with experience in creating promotional content for digital libraries. Large-scale film production companies, similar to Chocolate Films, which won the contract, would be well-suited to compete for such contracts in the future. Engaging in such projects can enhance a company's portfolio and provide visibility within the public sector, thereby fostering business growth and new partnership opportunities.
