## Summary

The University of Edinburgh is seeking to establish a Media Production Framework Agreement for Educational Video Production Services. This tender is part of the planning stage and is aimed at expanding the university's online learning portfolio. The procurement process involves appointing 3 to 5 suppliers who can provide additional capacity for media services when internal resources are insufficient. Interested parties should note that the future notice date for this tender is set for 14 January 2020, and it will cover services to be delivered primarily in the City of Edinburgh.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses that specialise in media services and video production, particularly those with experience in educational content. Companies equipped to handle various aspects of video production, including filming, post-production, and adherence to specific style guidelines, would be well-suited to participate. Suppliers will have the chance to engage in multiple individual project requests, allowing for ongoing work and potential long-term collaboration with the University.
