Summary of the contracting process

The procurement for a "Videography and Photography Consultancy" has recently been awarded by Cheshire West and Chester Council, a sub-central government public authority based in Ellesmere Port, UK. This contract falls under the services category and involves producing video and photo content for the Cheshire and Warrington Combined Authority team. The procurement process is complete, transitioning from tender to contract award on 31st March 2026. The contract, valued at £16,000 net (£19,200 gross), started on 9th March 2026 and will end on 31st May 2026. The project spans the UKD region, presenting professional videography and photography services tailored to public sector needs.

This contract provides an opportunity for businesses specialising in design consultancy services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Grey Fox Communications and Marketing Ltd, an SME and VCSE from Liverpool, successfully secured this award, demonstrating the potential for agile companies in the creative industry to grow and bolster their public sector portfolio. The tender process utilised a "Below threshold - unknown" procurement method, targeting services not exceeding a certain financial threshold, thereby making it accessible for smaller firms eager to expand their visibility and influence within the public domain. Businesses excelling in creative services, especially those offering robust consultancy in design, videography, and photography, stand to benefit from similar opportunities to enhance their strategic engagements with local authorities.
