The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the contract for this service valued at £14,550. The contract duration is set from 24th January 2018 to 31st March 2018. The tender was closed on 19th January 2018, and the selected supplier for this project is Glasgows Ltd, which is based in Leyland, England. This initiative falls under the category of information film production within the creative services industry, specifically aimed at enhancing public safety messaging around emergency calls to the Coastguard. This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth within the creative services sector, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in film production and public communications. Providers that excel in producing short, engaging multimedia content, especially those familiar with government contracts and public service messaging, would be well-suited to compete for similar future tenders. The emphasis on a vintage aesthetic combined with contemporary messaging could attract businesses skilled in blending nostalgia with modern filmmaking techniques. ## Notice HM Coastguard is part of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. HM Coastguard is a national emergency service and coordinates civil maritime search and rescue throughout the UK. It is a 999 emergency service. An important aspect of the Coastguard's work is working to limit and prevent search and rescue incidents at sea and along the coast so that fatalities and injuries are minimized. As such it is important that we ensure that the public is aware that they can call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. 2018 will be the 50th anniversary of the release of the iconic Joe and Petunia public information film 'Dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard'. The need to promote the 999 message is as important today as it was in the 60s. We therefore propose to capitalise on this anniversary and the current vogue for all things vintage/retro to produce a new version of this old classic, juxtaposing 60s footage of Joe and Petunia alongside brand new footage featuring the modern Coastguard. The new film will be approximately 40 seconds long, to cater for modern tastes for short snappy films and to allow us to use it as a TV filler (Government Information Film). We aim to launch the Joe and Petunia 50th anniversary film in April 2018 ready for the start of the new summer season ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/96fe9184-6423-4a57-8616-31395ab657e7 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Mar 2018 | | Submission deadline | 19 Jan 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 23 Jan 2018 | | Contract period | 24 Jan 2018 - 31 Mar 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £14,550 | | 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 | MARITIME & COASTGUARD AGENCY | | Locality | SOUTHAMPTON | | Post town | Southampton | | Postcode | SO15 1EG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ32 Southampton | | Local authority | Southampton | | Electoral ward | Banister & Polygon | | Westminster constituency | Southampton Itchen | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | GLASGOWS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92111250 - Information film production ## Release History - 16 Mar 2018 at 15:31 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/96fe9184-6423-4a57-8616-31395ab657e7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/96fe9184-6423-4a57-8616-31395ab657e7 16th March 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/maritime-and-coastguard-agency ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
