## Summary

Leeds City Council has completed a direct award procurement process for the creation of a "Living Library of Videos for Permanence Planning Web Based Tool". The contract was granted to Brickwall Films Ltd, a company based in London, to produce professionally made videos that will support social workers in their decision-making processes. The primary aim of this project is to ensure consistent practices among Local Authorities and enhance understanding of permanence's long-term effects on individuals' lives. This contract falls under the services category, specifically involving video film production and welfare services for children and young people, with the work scheduled between 1st April 2026 and 31st March 2027. The procurement method used was a direct award, described as "below threshold - without competition", signifying a straightforward award without a competitive tender process.

This project offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the production of educational and welfare-oriented video content or those in the children and family welfare sector. The emphasis on providing lived-experience videos points towards a demand for storytelling prowess and expertise in social issues, which could be beneficial for small- or medium-sized enterprises like Brickwall Films Ltd. Such contracts can help businesses bolster their portfolios by associating with government projects that have community impact, and they provide an entry into future collaboration with public authorities. Businesses capable of understanding and addressing the nuanced needs of Local Authorities and children's services stand in good stead to leverage such opportunities for growth.

## Notice

The contract will allow for professionally produced lived-experience videos to be created by Brickwall Films Ltd; this will help social workers understand how permanence decisions shape individuals' lives over time. A core aim of the project is to promote more consistent practice across Local Authorities, ensuring that decision-making remains aligned with each child's long-term needs relating to identity, contact, stability, and wellbeing. The tool will be freely accessible for children's service teams to support both training and planning activities. The plan is to increase awareness of the lifelong impact of adoption on adopted people, adopters, and birth families.
