UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Film Institute is seeking an evaluator for a process evaluation of its BFI Film Audience Network (FAN) and BFI NETWORK programmes. This public procurement opportunity falls under the category of "Research and development services and related consultancy services" and features an open competition, below threshold procurement method. The final submission deadline is 24th July 2026, with the enquiry period closing on 15th July 2026. The tender is active, with an anticipated contract period from 28th September 2026 to 30th June 2027. The total value for this project is set at £50,000, and the work is scheduled to predominantly cover the UK.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in research consultancy services, market and economic research, and other related fields to engage with a prestigious cultural institution like the British Film Institute. Given the strategic importance of the BFI's initiatives, businesses with expertise in UK-wide programme evaluation, particularly those familiar with devolved decision-making processes, would be well-placed to compete. The focus on quality (70%) and value for money (30%) in the award criteria underscores the potential for qualified businesses to deliver significant value while benefiting from exposure and networking opportunities within the screen culture sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Process Evaluation of BFI FAN and Network Programmes

Notice Description

The BFI wishes to commission an evaluator to deliver a process evaluation of two key National Lottery programmes: BFI Film Audience Network (FAN) and BFI NETWORK, covering the period 2023 to 2029. Both programmes operate a UK-wide delivery model, though they differ in their structure and implementation. A key strategic principle underpinning the BFI's Screen Culture 2033 (SC2033) and National Lottery strategies is UK-wide access and benefit, ensuring that funding and opportunities for screen culture reach communities, audiences, and creatives across all four nations. The delivery models for FAN and NETWORK--both of which involve devolved decision-making across a range of organisations in different nations and regions--are therefore central to how the BFI delivers on this principle of place-based provision.
