This open procurement process aims to analyse and understand the barriers to effective engagement with technical training and skills routes, particularly focusing on animation, post-production, visual effects, virtual production, and artificial intelligence. The tender process is active, classified under "Research consultancy services" (CPV: 73210000), and falls within the services category. Key dates include the tender period ending on 9th October 2024, with the contract running from 20th November 2024 to 29th August 2025. BFI’s main office is located at 21 Stephen Street, London, and the project scope extends globally, including the UK, Europe, and other territories. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research consultancy and management, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). By participating in this project, businesses can leverage their expertise to help identify and recommend key opportunities for bridging programmes that will benefit the digital content production sectors. Companies skilled in analysing educational training routes and understanding industry needs would be well-suited to compete for this tender. Engaging in such a project not only positions these businesses as thought leaders but also provides potential for future collaborations with prominent institutions like the BFI. ## Notice The current skills provision in both the film and High-End Television (HETV) industries (sometimes referred to as 'physical' production) and digital content production sectors (including animation, post-production, video games, visual effects (VFX), virtual production and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has varying levels of suitability to meet the demand for current and future skills and job roles. Due to a disconnect between industry and formal training routes, courses delivered by Further Education Institutions (FEIs) and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are often seen as being too generic in their focus and with insufficient signposting of career opportunities and occupational need. The aim of this study is to analyse and understand the barriers that restrict the digital content production (animation, post-production, visual effects, virtual production, and artificial intelligence) sectors' ability to engage effectively with technical training and skills routes, and to recommend key opportunities for the sector to benefit from effective bridging programmes. The study scope will be split into two stages, with the first stage focusing on the animation, post-production, visual effects, virtual production, and artificial intelligence (AI) sectors, and the second stage (if awarded) focusing on the video games sector. Both stages are included in the research scope within this invitation to tender. We will expect the supplier to undertake the two stages sequentially and to produce separate reports for each stage.
