Motion Picture and Video Production Tenders and Contracts

Read communications and marketing plans, campaign calendars, event schedules and framework renewal dates for creative services, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the communications teams behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

Short promotional and information films, animated explainers, training videos, graduation and awards ceremony filming, project progress and case study videos, and clips cut for social media. Photography is often bundled into the same contract, and larger buyers set up multi-supplier videography frameworks and call work off them through mini-competitions.

Not always. Plenty of the work is a single commission for one film or a short series, bought as a direct contract or a request for quotation. Frameworks matter for repeat buyers such as universities, councils and national bodies, which appoint a panel of videographers or creative agencies and then run mini-competitions or direct awards from it for the life of the agreement.

Councils, universities and colleges, central government departments and their agencies, NHS bodies, museums and cultural institutions, transport and infrastructure bodies, and arts and heritage funders. The buying team is almost always communications or marketing, and the brief is usually tied to a campaign, an event, a programme launch or a public information need.
