UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Film Institute is procuring a four-lot framework to promote UK screen services internationally through the UK Global Screen Fund and a combined ScreenUK programme. The scope supports the international development, production, distribution and promotion of independent UK screen content across film, television, documentaries, animation and interactive narrative games. It covers physical industry activity at international festivals and markets, including Cannes, Berlin, Toronto and Annecy, alongside ScreenUK’s digital industry and consumer campaigns. The lots are Events and Logistics Services; Creative Assets Services; Media Agency Services; and Digital Promotion and Production Services. The work is delivered in London and concerns marketing, advertising, promotional, screen production, creative, media and digital services.

The procurement has reached award stage, with the four lots marked complete and awards dated 8 September 2026, subject to the standstill ending on 17 September 2026 and scheduled signature by 30 September 2026. Premier Public Relations Ltd was selected for Lot 1 at £1,900,261.92 excluding VAT and Lot 4 at £702,000 excluding VAT. Ideas By Music Limited was selected for Lot 2 at £490,380 excluding VAT. Four Marketing and Media Limited was selected for Lot 3 at £854,000 excluding VAT. Each lot runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. This is a selective competitive flexible procedure with PSQ and ITT stages, using a closed framework without reopening competition. Evaluation covered quality and price, with economic and technical selection criteria.

This procurement indicates sustained demand from the BFI for specialist promotion of UK screen content, combining international event delivery, creative asset development, media planning and buying, digital production, software-related services, advertising and campaign management. Credible competitors would need technical and economic capacity for a structured PSQ and ITT process, and the ability to deliver work across screen-sector marketing and production disciplines. Relevant experience would include managing international festivals or markets, developing campaigns and promotional content, supporting film, television, documentary, animation or interactive-games businesses, and coordinating digital industry and consumer activity. The framework attracted 11 final-stage bids for each lot, including nine from SMEs per lot, showing that specialist smaller agencies can compete alongside larger providers. The selected suppliers also show that separate specialist capabilities can be combined across lots.
