This procurement falls within the services category of motion picture and video tape production, with an estimated value between £200,000 and £250,000. The framework agreement is intended to last for three years, with an option to extend for an additional year. The submission deadline for this tender is 26th May 2021, and it is aimed at enhancing the preservation and accessibility of the UK’s film heritage from its base in London, UK. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in film preservation and related services, particularly those equipped to manage various film formats and systems. Companies that focus on commercial film processing, restoration, and archival services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, may find this tender aligns with their capabilities. With an anticipated participant count of 3 to 6 suppliers, this is an excellent chance for the right firms to establish a long-term relationship with a prominent cultural institution while contributing to the preservation of the UK's cinematic history. ## Notice The BFI and its strategic partners are responsible for the preservation and accessibility of a significant share of the UK's film heritage.
