## Summary

The University of Sheffield is planning to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Creative Services, including Photography, Videography, and related services. This initiative, under the industry category 'Photographic services,' focuses on various lots such as people and portraits photography, press photos, and videography. This procurement process, valued at £60,000, is slated to start in 2025 and will run for four years with annual reviews. The process is currently in the planning stage, with the potential for these services to be sourced from suppliers located within the UKE region. Interested parties should anticipate future notices, particularly around 1 April 2025, when further tender specifics might be published.

This DPS represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in creative services to collaborate with a prestigious institution such as the University of Sheffield. Photography and videography businesses, especially those with experience in editing, postproduction, and copywriting services, are well-suited to compete for these lots. The potential to secure multiple lots offers substantial business growth and stability over the DPS's four-year duration. This opportunity is optimal for companies aiming to expand their portfolio in the academic sector and those based near the UKE region who can assure prompt service delivery.
