UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was led by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, aimed at securing videographer services for the City Bridge Foundation’s Poet-In Residence Project. This involved creating eight poetry films and the project was completed by the supplier Film 42 LTD. The industry category for this tender falls under "Entertainment film production", servicing the City of London area, with procurement operations classified as a "Below threshold - limited competition". The contract was awarded on 1st March 2024 and spanned until 30th June 2025, marking its completion status. The procurement method was limited, focusing on targeted competition.

This project presents opportunities for businesses involved in producing short films or multimedia content, particularly those familiar with the creative and cultural sectors. Although the tender process was completed, businesses looking for similar opportunities could benefit from building relationships with sub-central government public authorities like the City of London. Larger scale enterprises with expertise in arts and cultural content production were well-suited to compete, exemplified by the awarded supplier, Film 42 LTD.
