Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured video production and editorial services for delivery across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers motion picture and video production, including the creation and editorial treatment of video content. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement on behalf of the buyer as its shared service provider. The work falls within public-sector communications and content production, and is relevant to businesses providing end-to-end video services, filming, post-production and editorial support. The selected supplier, S&B Originals Ltd, is based in Bath and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier was selected: S&B Originals Ltd. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and runs from 23 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £49,249.30 excluding VAT, or £59,099.16 including VAT. The award is active and relates to the single completed lot covering the video production and editorial services requirement. The process used a limited competition rather than an open tender. The available outcome information identifies the supplier and contract value; the published procurement details do not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research and Innovation for a defined package of video production and editorial services delivered across the UK. Competitors would need to provide credible production capability alongside strong editorial judgement, covering the workflow from developing or capturing video content through to post-production and final outputs. Relevant experience in producing professional video for a public-sector, research or organisational audience would help demonstrate suitability, particularly where content must communicate complex subjects clearly. A small or medium-sized specialist agency can compete in this type of requirement, provided it can show sufficient production capacity, reliable project management and the ability to deliver consistent editorial quality across the contract scope.
