## Summary

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has successfully completed a procurement process to engage a service provider for the 'BiB Photographer' contract, focusing on photography services as part of their 'BiB: Teenage Stories' research project. This qualitative project aims to capture the experiences of Young People in Bradford, and the photography sessions form a crucial component of the research. The process, conducted under the 'Below threshold - without competition' method, involved hiring the acclaimed photographer Carolyn Mendelsohn. The contract was signed on 7th April 2025, with a contract period starting on 1st May 2025 and ending on 30th April 2029, located in Bradford, UK. The procurement falls under the 'services' category, and the project's legal basis aligns with UK legislation reference 2023/54.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in specialised photography services, particularly those skilled in capturing sensitive, qualitative research documentation. Firms experienced in similar public research projects or possessing a strong portfolio in community-focused work would find this project to be a promising opportunity for growth. The project allows businesses to contribute to impactful public health initiatives while enhancing their visibility and credibility within the public sector, especially among entities that value innovative storytelling and research documentation.

## Notice

We have a project called 'BiB: Teenage Stories' which is a qualitative research project working with a diverse range of Young People in Bradford to understand what it is like to grow up in Bradford. Part of this involves a portrait session with award winning photographer Carolyn Mendelsohn which includes a Young People sitting for a portrait and having an interview with Carolyn about their lives. This is then used as part of the qualitative research of BiB: Age of Wonder so we can form a wide picture of the lives of Young People in Bradford and advise policy makers on how to improve their health and wellbeing. Initially this part of the project was to happen for 2 years, but due to the success we would like to extend until the end of the BiB: Age of Wonder project which is another 4 years.
