Professional services - Filmmaking and photography

The Centre for Ageing Better is creating additional frameworks that are each focused on a specific service. These consist of: creative and design; filmmaking and photography; copywriting and proofreading; events.

These new frameworks allow for greater specialism from service providers and for Ageing Better to be more specific with its requirements.

The four frameworks will be treated independently, meaning we welcome bidders who are part of the 2020 framework as well as those who aren't. We would encourage suppliers who are part of the 2020 framework to bid for the specialist frameworks. It also means that suppliers are welcome to bid on a single or multiple frameworks.

The frameworks will be valid for three years; this includes a break clause that's active after two years, which can be activated by either party.

The photography and filmmaking framework doesn't require the supplier to be able to work across both disciplines - i.e. we welcome suppliers who solely capture photos or solely produce films, but please be specific in your bid. We work with photographers to update our resource bank, including our public age-positive image library. Photographers would typically be required to help with sourcing of individuals, though this isn't always the case, and where required, it will be communicated clearly and accounted for in the respective budget. The filmmaking tender includes producing videos that capture the voices of people in their 50s and 60s, as well as animations that we may commission. For an indication of the sorts of work we currently produce, take a look at our YouTube page. Filmmaking projects typically range from £5,000 to £15,000 depending on the number of deliverables in a project.
