## Summary

Newcastle University has conducted a tender for "Digital Media Production Support" in the services industry, specifically focusing on business services related to law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The procurement process was carried out under a selective method and is currently in the award stage, with the contract awarded on 17 August 2021, with a total value of £36,000. The supplier is expected to provide digital production support over a 12-month period, contributing an average of 60 hours of service per month, flexibly adjusted across the contract period as required.

This opportunity is ideal for businesses specialising in digital content creation and production, particularly those with expertise in producing a diverse range of digital media formats. Given the focus on flexibility and collaboration, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a strong portfolio in marketing and multimedia production will be well-suited to compete. Participating in this procurement can enable businesses to expand their client base and gain valuable experience working alongside a prestigious educational institution.

## Notice

We are seeking to appoint a supplier to provide digital production support on a monthly retainer basis. The supplier will work alongside an internal production team to increase capacity for the creation of a variety of digital creative projects. Content produced by the supplier will need to compliment in style and tone, existing materials produced in-house and by third party suppliers. When developing new content with no existing precedent the supplier will need to ensure the final production is in-line with the established University brand guidelines. It is expected the retainer would be for, on average but not a guaranteed, 60 hours a month with a maximum of 720 hours over the 12 month contracted period.
