The brief

The BFI requires several Suppliers to deliver Video Digitisation Services under a Framework Agreement.

The British Film Institute is responsible for the accessibility and preservation of a significant share of the UK's film heritage and aims to make it available to audiences through the widest range of platforms and technologies.

The film and television collections cared for by the BFI National Archive encompass the entire history of cinema, include educational, broadcast, amateur and other creative content held on a wide range of videotape formats.

To help achieve these objectives this framework agreement invites bidders to propose a range of videotape (& audio) digitisation services, along with costs, which can be drawn upon to augment technical capacity within the BFI National Archive's conservation teams.

While the BFI maintains considerable expertise and equipment to support and preserve these formats, this Tender seeks a greater range and capacity through commercial provision.

Full details of the draft Specification will be available to the Potential Providers in the draft ITT documentation of this requirement.

The Framework will be awarded for 3 years initially with an option to extend for an additional one year.

Please Note: This requirement will be awarded as a Framework Agreement therefore the BFI does not guarantee any work during the term of the Agreement.
