The programme must be produced and transmitted by June 2024, with expressions of interest due by 26th April 2024. This opportunity falls under the industry category of television production services in the United Kingdom. This tender presents an opportunity for production companies experienced in creating similar programmes for national public service broadcast television channels. Businesses with proven success in producing content for organisations like the Armed Forces and existing relationships with senior commissioners at national broadcasters are well-suited to compete. The Ministry of Defence requires security clearances in certain cases and expressions of interest must be accompanied by evidence of potential commission agreements with senior broadcasters. ## Notice Expressions of Interest are invited by The Ministry of Defence who would like to work with a production company who can produce an observational documentary special to be broadcast on a national public service broadcast television channel for transmission in the week beginning 24 June 2024 (Armed Forces Week). The production company must have proven experience of successful comparable programmes which have made it to transmission on a national public service broadcast television channel, ideally with organisations similar to the Armed Forces. They must have existing relationships with senior commissioners at a national public service broadcaster, and be able to demonstrate a very high likelihood of receiving a commission within the very short timescales. Because this programme is intended to contribute to the MOD's celebration of Armed Forces Week, the programme must be produced by June 2024 and transmitted in the week commencing 24 June 2024. Security Clearances may be required in certain circumstances for access to MOD property. The contract will be agreed using MOD terms and it is expected that the organisation will have requisite insurances. Expressions of interest should be sent to Brendan.hurrell100@mod.gov.uk by the 26th of April along with evidence of being able to fulfill the requirement. This must include appropriate evidence of agreement on a possible commission from senior commissioners at a national public service broadcaster ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2bc27ca0-2095-455f-b5e4-c738da054ec5 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Apr 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 26 Apr 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2HB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92221000 - Television production services ## Release History - 22 Apr 2024 at 11:15 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2bc27ca0-2095-455f-b5e4-c738da054ec5 - 22 Apr 2024 at 10:51 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2bc27ca0-2095-455f-b5e4-c738da054ec5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2bc27ca0-2095-455f-b5e4-c738da054ec5 22nd April 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
