What is being bought

The University is seeking to appoint a supplier to provide filming and live streaming services for its Summer and Winter graduation ceremonies. Graduation ceremonies are formal University events and form a core part of the academic calendar. The services procured under this tender will support the delivery of these events by ensuring ceremonies are professionally filmed and made available via live stream. The Summer graduation ceremonies are held annually in July and typically involve approximately 5,000 graduates with ceremonies typically delivered in one week at the Lowry, Salford Quays. The Winter graduation ceremonies are held annually in December and typically involve approximately 3,000 graduates, also delivered over a one-week period, and held at Maxwell Hall, University of Salford. The supplier will be required to provide all necessary filming and streaming services to support the delivery of the ceremonies, including technical set-up, live operation and de-rig, and to work in coordination with University staff and other appointed contractors/venues. The level of detail required within the specification will be proportionate to the scale and profile of the events, and suppliers are expected to demonstrate relevant experience in delivering similar services for large-scale, multi-day events. We are looking for a supplier to provide this service on a three-year contract.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 44. The category anchor is Film (44176000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 443,1285 median · 38.8 average (1,129 of 3,128 with a bid count)5.9 average (1,243 of 3,128 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
