Summary of the contracting process

Community Health Partnerships Limited commissioned photographic services for its Open Space Programme. The work is photography, intended to support the programme; the procurement does not describe particular shoots, image types or a more detailed service specification. Delivery covers locations across North East England, North West England, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East England and South West England. The buying organisation is a central government public authority based in Manchester. The requirement is a single service package rather than a set of separately described workstreams, and the selected supplier is a photography business. This opportunity is most relevant to professional photographers or photography agencies able to undertake assignments across the listed English regions and provide services for a public-sector programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Dan Matthams Photography. Community Health Partnerships Limited used a below-threshold limited competition. The award was made on 6 February 2026, and the contract runs from 1 March 2026 to 28 February 2028. Its value is £42,300 excluding VAT (£50,760 including VAT). The procurement was arranged as one lot, with one supplier selected. The award is active and the contract is active. The published information identifies the requirement and procurement route but gives no further evaluation criteria or participation requirements. The award outcome confirms that a supplier has been selected; this is not an opportunity to submit a bid for the contract.

The award shows that Community Health Partnerships Limited buys photography services for its Open Space Programme, across a broad spread of English regions, through a below-threshold limited competition. A future competitor would need to demonstrate professional photography capability and the practical capacity to deliver assignments across the programme’s geographical reach. Dan Matthams Photography, the selected supplier, is identified as an SME, showing that a smaller photography business was selected for this requirement. Suppliers should be credible for a public-sector client and able to provide a dependable service across multiple locations. The procurement does not set out specific technical standards, accreditations, staffing levels or experience thresholds, so these should not be treated as stated conditions of the award.
