The procurement process is based on open competition, under the 'Below threshold - open competition' classification, with quotations to be submitted electronically to sarah.hobbs@northnorthants.gov.uk.

The project requires proficiency in filming across diverse settings, conducting interviews, and integrating various filming techniques such as drone footage and time-lapse, providing a creative challenge that could stimulate growth and recognition for the successful bidder.
