## Summary

The British Film Commission (BFC), under the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Department for International Trade (DIT), is currently in the tender stage for the Local Impact Research Project. This initiative aims to evaluate the effects of inward investment in film and TV production on UK production hubs and their economies. The deadline for tender submissions is 5th March 2021, and the contract period is set to commence on 15th March 2021 and conclude by 30th June 2021. The procurement follows an open procedure, with an estimated value of £60,000, aimed primarily at service providers in the research and consultancy sector, as classified under CPV 73000000.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in research and development services, particularly those with experience in economic impact studies within the creative industry. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the BFC is supportive of engaging local firms capable of delivering credible research outcomes. Competing businesses should have a strong understanding of the UK film and TV landscape and the local economic factors influencing production activities.

## Notice

The British Film Commission (BFC) is the UK Government's national organisation responsible for supporting inward investment film and TV production in the UK, funded by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Department for International Trade (DIT). The BFC is the national division of Film London. In March 2020, HM Treasury announced that the British Film Commission (BFC) would receive additional funding over three years to expand its work promoting the UK as a destination of choice for studio space investment. To support and inform this work, the British Film Commission is seeking to commission a supplier to undertake a programme of research that accurately and credibly measures the impact of inward investment production activity on key UK production hubs and their local and regional economies.
