This procurement process is currently active and follows an open procedure, allowing for a range of suppliers to engage. The tender period will close on 26 May 2021, while the contract, expected to last for three years with an option for an additional year, will commence on 1 September 2021 and continue until 31 August 2024. The estimated value of the contract ranges from £200,000 to £250,000, with participants expected to be between three and six for this framework agreement, based at their London offices (W1T 1LN). This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in film preservation and laboratory services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the capacity to meet the diverse requirements of the BFI. Companies specialising in motion picture processing, digital conversion, and related services would be well-placed to compete for this procurement, enhancing their growth and visibility within the UK's film heritage sector. Interested firms are encouraged to register on the BFI’s portal to access all relevant tender documents and proceedings. ## Notice The BFI and its strategic partners are responsible for the preservation and accessibility of a significant share of the UK's film heritage. The film collections encompass the entire history of film production, and include examples of an extremely wide range of formats and systems. While the BFI maintains considerable expertise and machinery to support and preserve these formats through duplication, this Tender seeks a greater range and capacity through commercial provision. The number of participants to the framework agreement is envisaged to be between 3 and 6 and the duration of the framework agreement is 3 years with an option to extend for a further one year.
