UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Improvement and Development Agency for Local Government (IDeA) is seeking to procure videography services for its LGA Graduate Programmes. This opportunity is part of an open tender process aimed at enhancing marketing through video content, with a focus on reaching a broad audience of university students and graduates across the United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the category of services related to photographic and ancillary services, as well as advertising and marketing. The final submission deadline for this tender is 12th February 2026 at 12:00 GMT, with the opportunity being above the threshold for open competition. It includes an enquiry period ending on 10th February 2026 at 17:00 GMT. The contract period is set to commence on 23rd March 2026 and conclude on 23rd February 2027, with an option for an extension.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in videography, advertising, and marketing services. In particular, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, given the procurement’s receptiveness to diverse suppliers. The quality of service is a crucial success factor, constituting 75% of the evaluation criteria, complemented by the competitive pricing criterion at 25%. The LGA intends to engage multiple suppliers on a retainer for ad hoc projects, making this an attractive proposition for businesses looking to expand their portfolios and participate in high-impact marketing initiatives over the coming year. The project includes producing event videography, talking head clips, and updating existing footage, offering a rich opportunity for creative service providers.
