Description

Film and TV productions face numerous logistical and practical challenges. Across the UK, multiple organisations provide world-class production support services to help productions plan their shoot, find crew, suppliers, studio space and locations, and strengthen the UK's film-friendly production ecosystem. A wide range of productions rely on these services, from large budget inward investment studio films and high-end television productions filming over a number of weeks and months, to smaller independent films and short term productions. Currently these services are provided through a patch work of funding, including through devolved and local government, as well as commercial providers.
We are seeking a supplier to conduct a review to inform this work and secure the long-term sustainability of production support services. The review will look specifically - and only - at National Lottery funded production support services activity delivered by the BFC and Creative England. Activities delivered by these organisations funded by other means are out of scope of this review.
