## Summary

The British Film Institute (BFI) recently completed the procurement process titled "Economic Review of the Revenue Model for UK Independent Film September 2021." This process focuses on the economic dynamics and revenue flow within the UK independent film sector and was officially classified under economic research services. The tender phase was executed as an open procedure, with the initial contract period running from 3rd November 2021 to 31st March 2022. The procurement attracted submissions from businesses in the UK and beyond, with the final contract awarded to Alma Economics Limited, valued at £79,250.

This tender presents a strategic opportunity for businesses involved in economic research and analysis, particularly those with expertise in the film industry and digital media. Companies that can provide in-depth insights into revenue models, marketplace dynamics, and innovative recommendations for the independent film sector will find this tender particularly relevant. Given the diverse scope of the project, businesses of various sizes, including SMEs, are encouraged to engage in future tenders within this domain, building partnerships to enhance their growth potential in the evolving film marketplace.

## Notice

The BFI is seeking to commission a new report on the detailed economics of the current value chain for UK independent film, and the overall dynamics of the marketplace for such films, focussing on the flow of revenues. The focus is on independent films with budgets of up to PS15 million. This work will be informed by the huge shifts that have taken place in the ways that audiences access films in a world of digital media and in particular the impact of streaming services. The review will provide industry with robust and reliable evidence and economic analysis of the value chain for UK independent film. The analysis will focus on both the relative balance of revenues from the component parts of the value chain as well as indicative levels of return from those different segments for independent feature films of different budget levels. The review should also be accompanied by a set of recommendations (with blue sky and/or innovative recommendations that would benefit all aspects of the industry actively encouraged), rooted in the objective economic analysis, which will be used to identify priorities for future action. Working with key stakeholders including PACT and the UK's Public Service Broadcasters the economic review will be based on solid economic evidence focussed on the flow of revenues. Whilst the study focuses primarily on feature length films, encompassing all genres from drama to documentary, the wider scope of film formats e.g. short films and/or episodic independent film should also be considered if the equivalent value chains bring additional insight or evidence to support the report's recommendations for feature length films.
