Summary of the contracting process

Creative Scotland is seeking a development co-ordinator for its Youth Cinema Initiative. This is a service role connected with cinema and film exhibition (CPV 92100000). Creative Scotland is the buyer, based in Edinburgh. The work is for the initiative in Scotland; the procurement identifies Scotland as the delivery area but does not set out the co-ordinator’s specific duties beyond referring suppliers to the tender brief. Suppliers considering this opportunity should review that brief to understand the full scope and expected outputs. The requirement is a single, standalone service contract rather than a recurring procurement, with no renewal or additional purchase options stated.

Creative Scotland invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 2 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with the contract period set to run from 1 December 2026 to 31 May 2027. The stated project budget is £20,000–£26,500 excluding VAT. The contract is a single lot. Bids had to be submitted electronically in English; variant bids were not allowed. The tender set no evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements in the published details, so suppliers should consult the tender brief for the basis on which offers would be assessed and any participation conditions. No enquiry deadline is stated.

This opportunity is suited to a supplier able to co-ordinate development work for a youth-focused cinema initiative and deliver a defined service over a six-month contract period. Relevant strengths are likely to include project co-ordination and experience of cinema, film exhibition or youth arts, but the published details do not set out mandatory qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or specific experience thresholds. A small specialist consultancy, arts organisation or independent co-ordinator may be a fit if able to meet the brief’s requirements and deliver across Scotland. The work is a single contract with no stated renewal or follow-on purchase option, so it is most relevant to suppliers seeking a focused project rather than a continuing service arrangement. The tender brief is necessary to judge the precise delivery demands.
