## Summary

The British Film Institute (BFI) has completed a procurement process for "Production and Certification Tracking Services," with the contract being awarded on 24th July 2025. This open competition, below the threshold, pertains to the service industry, specifically targeting research and market analysis within the UK. The BFI, located in London, sought services to source, quality assure, and deliver quarterly production and certification data for film, television, and video games developed in the UK. The awarded contract begins on 9th August 2025 and runs until 31st August 2026, with the possibility of a one-year extension. This initiative is part of BFI's National Lottery-supported Research and Statistics Fund.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the research and consultancy sectors, particularly those equipped to handle market analysis and statistical data provision. As the procurement was won through an open competition, large-scale enterprises similar to the successful bidder, Dr Sean Perkins, could find competitive advantages in such endeavours, benefiting from potential extensions and ongoing data supply demands. Businesses specialising in research consultancy and those with a capability for high-quality data management and analysis in the creative industries would have been well-suited to compete for this opportunity.

## Notice

Through the BFI's National Lottery-supported Research and Statistics Fund ('the Fund') we are seeking to commission a supplier to source, quality assure and provide production and certification data of film, high-end television programmes, animation television programmes, children's television programmes and video games produced/developed in the UK. This data is to be delivered to BFI on a quarterly basis, and in a timely manner in order to meet the statistical release calendar. Interim data supply may also be requested on an ad hoc basis in order to meet the needs of the BFI's Research and Statistics Unit programme of work.
