UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process titled "PS25238 - 101 Jobs Series 4" was initiated by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority based in Swindon, United Kingdom. The procurement involved the production of the fourth series of 101 films for UKRI's content team, encompassing pre-production, production location filming, post-production processing, and voiceovers. The process reached the award stage with a limited competition procurement method classified as "below threshold—without competition." The procurement targeted the radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment industry category. Key timelines include the contract period from 10th September to 10th October 2025, with the contract being signed on 9th September 2025. The announcement was published on 1st October 2025.

This contract presents a distinct opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in the media and communications industry, particularly those specialising in film and production services. The award to S&B Originals ltd, an SME, demonstrates the potential for similar companies to gain governmental contract opportunities through delivery of high-quality media production services. Companies capable of handling end-to-end production processes, from initial concept through to final post-production, would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders from UKRI or other government bodies seeking innovative content solutions.
