## Notice

On behalf of the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation (UKHMF), funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), this Procurement is seeking to award a Contract to one (1) Contractor to carry out post-production work on testimonies of British Holocaust survivors and concentration camp liberators captured as part of the recommendations of the Holocaust Commission. It is a national duty and a moral imperative to record, preserve and share these stories, and it is the vision of the Holocaust Commission that these be accessible to a wide range of audiences now and for generations to come. The objective of this requirement will be for the Contractor to carry out high-quality post production work on a number of testimony recordings of Holocaust survivors and Bergen-Belsen liberators, as well as producing a number of shorter versions of those testimony recordings for educational and promotional purposes. The outputs will need to be suitable for hosting and streaming on a publicly accessible online educational portal (the portal itself is not a requirement of this Procurement). The portal will include a 'teachers' corner' where the educational clips will be available for use in schools. 'Taster' clips will be used for a range of communication purposes, including for broadcast. All outputs will need to be of broadcastable quality. As a minimum the Contractor shall be required to: a) produce a 'clean' version of each of the 112 testimonies; b) produce a minimum of 15 'taster' clips - approximately 5 minutes each - from the above testimonies, each of which will provide a synopsis of the story of one survivor; c) produce a minimum of 10, approximately 20 - 30-minute testimony clips to be used for educational purposes, including in schools for a range of age groups; d) produce industry-standard written transcripts with timecodes for each of the deliverables; e) provide key words for each 'taster' and educational clip; f) tag all particularly powerful, revelatory and emotional moments in the main clean edits; g) add industry-standard subtitles to 2 of the testimonies; h) provide both an edit suite and an editor/editorial team. Subject to any termination provisions within the Contract, the initial term of the Contract shall commence on 3.4.2017 (the 'Effective Date') and shall terminate on 3.12.2017. DCLG reserves the right to extend the term of the Contract by up to 6 weeks. DCLG cannot guarantee any extension.
