UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Invest Northern Ireland is procuring filming and production services to support its communications strategy. The supplier will produce contractual video outputs that promote Invest NI programmes and advisory services, helping the organisation achieve annual programme referral and participation targets. The requirement covers motion picture and video production, including advertising films, information films, related production services and archive services. Work is for Invest NI’s communications activity and includes customer case studies, coverage of an Invest NI staff conference and corporate promotional video content. The contracting function is managed centrally by CPD - Supplies and Services Division in Belfast, while the services support Invest NI’s programmes and advisory work across its operating activities. This is a services opportunity suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has reached tender: Invest Northern Ireland invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission allowed. Questions were due by 21 August 2026 at 15:00, and tenders were due by 31 August 2026 at 15:00. The evaluation and award period was due to end on 21 September 2026. There is one lot, valued at £700,000 excluding VAT (£840,000 including VAT). The contract period is 27 November 2026 to 26 November 2028, with two buyer-controlled extension options: two years followed by a further one year, allowing a maximum end date of 26 November 2031. Award evaluation is 60% qualitative and 40% quantitative. The qualitative assessment covers three production scenarios, personnel experience, contract management and social value; quantitative assessment covers four priced scenarios.

This opportunity suits filming and production companies able to deliver varied corporate and communications video work, from individual customer case studies to projects involving multiple contributors and multiple edited outputs. Suppliers should be able to propose clear methodologies for different production scenarios, including an Invest NI staff conference and a corporate promotional video. Relevant strengths include demonstrable company experience in comparable work, experienced personnel, reliable contract management and the ability to deliver consistent outputs across the requirement. The evaluation also gives material weight to social value, so bidders should be prepared to explain the social benefits they would provide through delivery. The requirement is identified as suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller production businesses with the capacity to manage a multi-year public sector service contract and potential extensions.
