## Summary

The British Council commissioned professional videography and video production services for its BIRAX programme. The work is classified as motion picture and video services (CPV 92100000). The requirement is for an experienced video production supplier to provide professional filming and production services; no further production outputs or delivery locations are described. The buyer is the British Council, a public authority based in London. The selected supplier, Blumenfeld Pictures, is based in Jerusalem, Israel. This procurement concerns services rather than goods or construction, with the programme-specific video work forming its core scope.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The British Council selected Blumenfeld Pictures, Ltd. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and runs from 15 September to 15 December 2026. Its value is £35,000 including VAT. The procurement was below the relevant threshold; the specific method is recorded as unknown. The tender was organised as one lot, which is complete. The stated award relates to video production services for BIRAX. No separate award date or evaluation criteria are provided in the published contracting data, so the basis used to assess proposals cannot be identified here.

This award shows that the British Council buys specialist video production for a named programme, at a relatively small, short-term project scale. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need demonstrated experience in professional videography and end-to-end video production, with the capacity to deliver programme-related work over a concentrated period. Blumenfeld Pictures, the selected supplier, is an SME based in Jerusalem, indicating that the work was awarded to a small business outside the UK. The available description does not identify particular filming locations, technical formats, crew requirements or accreditations, so the proven competitive profile is video-production experience rather than any more specific production specialism.

## Notice

The British Council would like to request a proposal from experienced video production suppliers for the provision of professional videography and video production services for the BIRAX programme.
