This procurement process is at the 'award' stage, with the award date recorded as 28th April 2026. The project encompasses a series of short films about the history and practice of costume making at renowned British performance institutions, including the Royal Ballet and Opera, Cosprop Film Costumiers, Leeds Playhouse, and the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. The award notice was published on Contracts Finder, signifying the completion of the tender with the contract period starting on 4th May 2026 and ending on 3rd May 2027. The procurement method details were not specified, and the competition was not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs. The project delivery will be global, including places such as the Channel Islands and British Overseas Territories, reflecting a focus on broad international engagement. This tender offers considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in film production, particularly those interested in cultural promotion and heritage preservation. Businesses capable of capturing the intricate narrative of British costume making across multiple prestigious institutions will find this contract beneficial for showcasing their expertise. With a focus on documentation and promotion of unique cultural attributes, businesses with a strong portfolio in artistic film production or historical costume storytelling would be well-suited to participate in such endeavours. The contract involves zero direct monetary award, implying potential for non-financial benefits including exposure and networking through association with renowned institutions. This presents a growth opportunity for established film production firms looking to diversify their portfolio and amplify their reach, particularly in the realm of cultural heritage projects. ## Notice The Craft & Illusion of British Costume Making is a series of approximately 15 short films (each approximately three to five minutes in duration) about the history, heritage, and practice of costume making at four iconic British performance institutions: Royal Ballet and Opera, Cosprop Film Costumiers, Leeds Playhouse, and the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. The films are intended to document, preserve, and promote the house style and specialisms of each institution (and indeed, emphasise their distinctive characteristics and cultures), and although each short film will represent a discrete and complete micro narrative, taken together, the series will reveal the richness, multiplicity, and depth of expertise within British costume making more broadly and thereby demonstrate the qualities which sustain its global reputation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bac2640b-3a30-4d90-afe8-a4de35b3116a | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Apr 2026 | | Submission deadline | 7 Apr 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 27 Apr 2026 | | Contract period | 3 May 2026 - 3 May 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF BRIGHTON | | Locality | UK | | Post town | Brighton | | Postcode | BN2 4AT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ21 Brighton and Hove | | Local authority | Brighton and Hove | | Electoral ward | Moulsecoomb & Bevendean | | Westminster constituency | Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | JACK PERRY / URSULA PELCZAR (HAIKU DREAMS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92111200 - Advertising, propaganda and information film and video-tape production ## Release History - 28 Apr 2026 at 10:59 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bac2640b-3a30-4d90-afe8-a4de35b3116a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bac2640b-3a30-4d90-afe8-a4de35b3116a 28th April 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.brighton.ac.uk/about-us/working-with-us/supplier-information/index.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
