Description

On behalf of The Blue Belt Programme, Cefas require a suitable organisation/ individual that can provide Ocean Survey Videographer services to capture and bring to life an ocean survey sailing to St Helena and Ascension Island. Lasting 42 days, the voyage will work with these two UK Overseas Territories to collect important scientific data and ultimately further inform ongoing work to protect these unique marine environments.

Objectives:
1. Capture high quality photographs, video and live stream content (where possible) throughout the duration of the DY159 survey for use within pro-active Blue Belt Programme communications (e.g. social media content).
2. Use the content collected during the survey to create a bank of quality photographic and video content that effectively visualizes the various activities undertaken during the survey and with the UKOTs, ensuring usability for Blue Belt communications assets.
3. Work with the Blue Belt communications team (a member of which will be on board) to ensure that the content captured links with and feeds into the wider communications, outreach, education, and science objectives of the expedition.
4. Please note a dedicated communications plan will be developed by the Blue Belt communications team which supports and informs this, and planning meetings can take place prior to DY159's departure to plan content and scope ideas..
5. Use the content collected to create a short documentary style film of around five minutes which tells the story of the survey's duration, providing insight into life on board, highlights key objectives and how it achieved them.

This tender will be evaluated in two stages.
Stage 1 - Technical Evaluation of written responses to the RFQ
Stage 2 - Top 3 ranked suppliers following Technical Evaluation will be invited to interview. The interview questions will be based on the criteria from Stage 1, from which the evaluation panel will confirm a final Technical Score for each Tenderer.
