Photography Services Framework

Description

The purpose of the Photography Services Framework is to establish access to reliable, flexible and professional photography support as and when required. It will enable the North East MSA to commission services quickly while maintaining fair competition, transparent procurement and value for money. The Authority is seeking to appoint up to four suppliers to each lot to deliver photography services for an initial period of two years, with the option to extend for up to a further two years in two separate 12-month periods. The Framework includes 3 Lots: Lot 1: Press and PR Photography, covering announcements, launches, ministerial visits and events, including on-location photography, portraits, reportage-style images and rapid turnaround for press use. Lot 2: Staff Portraits and Corporate Photography, covering professional staff and stakeholder portraits, headshots, group photography, editing and retouching for print and digital communications. Lot 3: Regional Landscapes and Architectural Imagery, covering landscapes, cityscapes, architecture, infrastructure, regeneration projects, and drone or aerial photography across the North East.
