The work includes a video on preparing homes for winter, thermal images of homes before and/or after improvement works, professional photography across the project, and drone footage of rooftops. Edited media must be suitable for websites, social media, printed publications and Google Business Profile, with associated usage rights supplied to the Council. The work takes place in Tarbert, on the shores of Loch Fyne in Kintyre. This is a media production and photography service (CPV 79961000). The Council invited offers through a single-lot, open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline was 23 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the bid opening was set for the same time. The contract period is 1,080 days. The tender sets no estimated monetary value. Bids must be submitted in English, and variants are not allowed. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published material includes an invitation to quote and the Council’s general service contract conditions. No evaluation weighting or detailed award basis is set out in the procurement information provided. This opportunity suits a supplier able to deliver joined-up stills, video, thermal imaging and drone work for a housing improvement project, rather than a provider focused on only one medium. The commission calls for professional photography throughout the project, thermal images of homes around improvement works, rooftop drone footage and an edited, high-quality winter-preparation video. Suppliers should be able to prepare finished assets for both digital channels and printed publications, including Google Business Profile, and grant the Council all associated usage rights. The work spans the project lifecycle and a range of property-based subjects, so relevant production experience, suitable imaging equipment and the capacity to coordinate multiple media outputs would be useful. No particular accreditation or minimum experience requirement is stated. ## Notice This commission will provide photography, videography and thermal imaging services to support the promotion and documentation of housing energy efficiency improvements and winter preparedness activities. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This commission will provide photography, videography and thermal imaging services to support the promotion and documentation of housing energy efficiency improvements and winter preparedness activities.
