The procurement process is open and falls below the financial threshold, allowing for a broad range of potential suppliers. This opportunity covers services required for both the Summer events in July at the Lowry, Salford Quays, and the Winter ceremonies in December at Maxwell Hall, University of Salford. The contract, valued at an estimated £150,000, is set for a three-year duration starting from 1 June 2026. The deadline for tender submissions is 16 March 2026, with the last date for enquiries being 9 March 2026. The main industry categories relevant to this tender include film, television and radio broadcast transmission services, information film production, and entertainment film production. This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in film production and live streaming services, particularly those experienced in large-scale, multi-day events. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement process is designed to be accessible and inclusive. Companies with a strong track record in similar projects and the capability to provide high-quality, professional services will find this an attractive opportunity, given the significant exposure and prestige associated with major university events. The University is looking for suppliers who can effectively collaborate with its staff and other contracted service providers, ensuring seamless coordination and delivery of the ceremonies. ## Notice The University is seeking to appoint a supplier to provide filming and live streaming services for its Summer and Winter graduation ceremonies. Graduation ceremonies are formal University events and form a core part of the academic calendar. The services procured under this tender will support the delivery of these events by ensuring ceremonies are professionally filmed and made available via live stream. The Summer graduation ceremonies are held annually in July and typically involve approximately 5,000 graduates with ceremonies typically delivered in one week at the Lowry, Salford Quays. The Winter graduation ceremonies are held annually in December and typically involve approximately 3,000 graduates, also delivered over a one-week period, and held at Maxwell Hall, University of Salford. The supplier will be required to provide all necessary filming and streaming services to support the delivery of the ceremonies, including technical set-up, live operation and de-rig, and to work in coordination with University staff and other appointed contractors/venues. The level of detail required within the specification will be proportionate to the scale and profile of the events, and suppliers are expected to demonstrate relevant experience in delivering similar services for large-scale, multi-day events. We are looking for a supplier to provide this service on a three-year contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016907-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Feb 2026 | | Submission deadline | 16 Mar 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2026 - 31 May 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | Lots value | £150,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF SALFORD | | Locality | SALFORD | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M5 4WT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD34 Greater Manchester South West | | Local authority | Salford | | Electoral ward | Ordsall | | Westminster constituency | Salford | | Delivery location | TLD3 Greater Manchester | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 64 - Postal and telecommunications services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 44176000 - Film - 64228000 - Television and radio broadcast transmission services - 92111250 - Information film production - 92111310 - Entertainment film production ## Release History - 25 Feb 2026 at 13:52 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016907-2026 - 20 Feb 2026 at 14:50 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/015750-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016907-2026 25th February 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/015750-2026 20th February 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/salford/aspx/Home - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
