## Summary

Cheshire West and Chester Council commissioned short films for its Cheshire Archives buildings. The requirement is a cultural media service: producing concise films connected with the council’s archive buildings. The stated delivery area is Cheshire, England. The procurement was arranged as a single lot, covering the short-film requirement as one package. The council is the buyer, and Heritage Interactive Ltd, a small and medium-sized supplier, was selected to provide the service. This work is suited to businesses producing short-form film content for public or heritage settings, particularly where the brief involves communicating the identity or purpose of archive buildings. The published scope is limited to short films for these buildings; it does not describe a broader archive service or a wider programme of video production.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Cheshire West and Chester Council used a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier was selected: Heritage Interactive Ltd. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026, runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, and is valued at £192,000 including VAT. The competition was not divided into separate lots. The available procurement information does not describe evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, so the basis on which offers were assessed cannot be summarised. The award covers cultural services for the archive-building films. No cancellation or termination is reported. The value and dates relate to the contract as awarded, rather than an estimate for a future procurement.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need to turn a defined brief about archive buildings into engaging short films and deliver the finished work within a public-sector contract. Experience in cultural or heritage storytelling would be directly relevant, as would the ability to plan and produce concise video content for buildings and their audiences. The award shows demand from Cheshire West and Chester Council for a substantial, focused film commission rather than a general archive-management service. Heritage Interactive Ltd, an SME, was selected through limited competition, indicating that a smaller specialist business can deliver this type of work. Suppliers considering similar work for this buyer should be able to demonstrate suitable production capability, relevant examples and sufficient capacity to manage a discrete commission of this scale.
