## Summary

The University of Hertfordshire awarded a contract for the provision of a teaching material license for the MA Film and Television Production programme to UKFILMNET on 4th December 2023. The contract, valued at £330,000, falls under the adult and other education services category. The procurement method used was a limited negotiated procedure due to the exclusive rights related to the archive materials required for the specialized postgraduate program.

This contract opportunity created by the University of Hertfordshire is suited for businesses specializing in intellectual property rights and ancillary services for educational programmes. The procurement process has now entered the award stage, offering a business opportunity to provide unique archive materials for the MA programme in Film and Television Production. Companies with expertise in copyright and educational services should consider competing for this contract to support the university's specialised postgraduate Master's programme.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The licensing of certain unique archive materials protected by intellectual property rights and ancillary services in relation thereto for a new MA programme titled Film and Television Production.

### Procurement Information

(Regulation 84 (1)) Negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice (Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii)). The subject contract is a public service contract which can only be carried out by the Supplier due to the protection of exclusive rights, namely copyright in a video archive owned and licenced by the Supplier. No reasonable alternative or substitute exists because the University had a requirement for specialist resources of sufficient depth, breadth and quality to meet the requirements of a specialist postgraduate Master's programme in film and television production. A series of searches for appropriate providers/resources was carried out, but none of the alternative providers/resources identified had sufficient or appropriate materials to meet the requirements of asynchronous learning on the proposed specialist degree programme.
