This initiative aims to assess the effectiveness of the programme in supporting UK producers, writers, and directors, as well as the sustainability of BFI-backed films. The procurement method is open, specifically following an open procedure below the threshold, with the submission deadline set for 12th November 2020. The evaluation will engage with various stakeholders and is classified under the CPV code for evaluation consultancy services, located in London, UK, with a contract period starting on 14th December 2020 and concluding by 15th March 2021. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in evaluation consultancy, particularly those experienced in cultural and creative sectors. Companies that can provide thorough analyses and insights into funding mechanisms and film industry dynamics would be particularly well-suited to compete. With the growth of the British film industry and the increasing reliance on independent evaluations, this contract can help enhance market visibility and establish valuable connections within the sector. ## Notice BFI is seeking to commission an evaluation of its Locked Box initiative to help determine if the initiative is delivering the expected outcomes of: o UK producers, writers and directors benefitting from their film's success; o Revenue from successful BFI-backed films being invested directly into the British film industry; and o Viable and sustainable businesses with reduced dependency on the BFI Film Fund and other public funds. An evaluation is expected provide a full, descriptive account of BFI funded feature film receipts collected into BFI Locked Boxes and filmmaker requests to access funding through the initiative since launch, taking into consideration the ways in which the scheme has developed over time; analysis of the initiative, interrogating the way the scheme is structured and delivered and linking performance to the achievement of Locked Box goals; and finally, an evaluation weighing all the descriptive and analytical evidence to determine whether or not BFI Locked Box is the most effective means of achieving these goals compared with alternative approaches. The evaluation is expected to utilise information provided by BFI Locked Box records, filmmaker surveys and case studies and trade association consultations.
