## Summary

The British Council is procuring professional photography and videography services for its South Africa operations. The requirement covers creating photographic and video content across South Africa, including advertising video production. Two suppliers are intended to be appointed. Once appointed, work will be ordered through mini-competitions between the suppliers, based on availability and price. This suits production companies, freelance-led studios and multi-person media teams able to provide professional photography and videography services across multiple South African locations. The buying organisation is the British Council, with the service requirement managed for British Council South Africa. Suppliers should be able to respond to individual work opportunities as they arise and deliver both photography and video assignments rather than only one of these services.

The process reached tender: the British Council invited offers through an open procedure. Electronic submission was allowed in English. The tender submission deadline was 10 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with the award period scheduled to end on 20 October 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC. The contract is expected to run from 1 November 2026 to 29 October 2029, with a possible 12-month extension to 28 October 2030. The estimated value is £368,000 excluding VAT, or £423,200 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation is based on commercial price at 40%, quality at 25%, methodology and approach at 25%, and social value at 10%. The appointed suppliers will compete for work according to availability and price.

This opportunity is suited to qualified and experienced photography and videography suppliers with professional production capability and the capacity to cover assignments across South Africa. Strong bidders will need to demonstrate a clear methodology and approach for delivering the services, answer the supplier response questions, and provide a competitive commercial offer using the required pricing approach. Because two suppliers will be appointed and later work will be allocated through mini-competitions, businesses need to maintain availability and respond to individual opportunities on price and delivery capability. The evaluation also gives specific weight to quality and social value, so suppliers able to evidence reliable service standards, effective working methods and relevant social-value commitments should be well placed. The requirement is suitable for providers offering both photography and video production rather than a single-medium service.
