This open procurement process, referencing NAT001-0290, is in the tender stage and the deadline for submissions is set for 16 January 2019. The contract, valued at £99,900, will be strictly conducted under an open procedure below the threshold and is classified under services for motion-picture and video-tape production. The content creation will be targeted at engaging a younger audience, specifically those aged 18-34, to highlight inspiring projects that have received funding through the National Lottery, and delivery is to occur primarily in London. This tender presents significant opportunities for creative agencies and video production companies specialised in producing engaging digital content. Businesses equipped to develop emotive and thematic visual storytelling, particularly those with experience in youth engagement and social media promotions, would be well-suited to compete. By delivering innovative and shareable content, successful bidders can contribute to raising awareness of the National Lottery's positive impact while simultaneously expanding their portfolios and client networks within the public sector. ## Notice 1. Introduction The NLPU requires the services of an agency to assist in the creation and hosting of video content. The scope of the contract will include the commissioning of the agency to create some emotive, engaging, shareable, relevant and fun content to highlight and raise awareness of the 535,000 inspirational projects that are National Lottery funded. In the 24 years since the National Lottery began, PS38 billion has been awarded to organisations across the UK. The NLPU's overarching aim is to raise awareness of the PS30 million a week that goes to National Lottery good causes and we would like to champion the people and projects involved - shining a light on the strong human interest stories at the heart of each piece of content, with National Lottery funding as the background theme. Our biggest campaign is The National Lottery Awards, which we have run for over 15 years in partnership with the BBC. This focusses on finding the UK's favourite National Lottery projects. The campaign reaches millions of people, but the demographic of the audience is 35 years-old plus. We would like to create content that will reach and appeal to a younger audience of 18-34 year olds - to better showcase some of the more topical projects that are National Lottery funded across the UK. Previous content we have produced that has been targeted to a younger audience has been smaller scale (reaching hundreds or thousands of people) and not always topical. We would like to produce bigger, newsworthy pieces of content that will reach millions of young people. We require a series of content to be produced, with at least two videos to be hosted on an external agency's channels, and promoted on social media. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0eea3370-af54-4a21-8351-d50de3b50f14 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 16 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Feb 2019 - 31 May 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £99,900 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BIG LOTTERY FUND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC4A 1DE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | City of London | | Electoral ward | Castle Baynard | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92112000 - Services in connection with motion-picture and video-tape production ## Release History - 14 Dec 2018 at 15:11 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0eea3370-af54-4a21-8351-d50de3b50f14 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0eea3370-af54-4a21-8351-d50de3b50f14 14th December 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://biglotteryfund.bravosolution.co.uk Tender documents can be obtained from the Big Lottery Fund's e-tendering platform - https://biglotteryfund.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html Access to the Big Lottery Fund's e-tendering platform can also be obtained through the URL below ## Notice URLs - https://www.biglotteryfund.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
