In plain English
South Tyneside Council is looking for professional photographers to provide flexible, high-quality photography services for their communications, marketing, events and social media throughout the year. Up to 10 photographers will be selected to a framework, with an estimated annual spend of £20,000 to £30,000 shared between them.
What the buyer wants
• Provide professional photography services for council events, campaigns, projects and initiatives (press events, civic ceremonies, place promotion, resident engagement, award ceremonies, consultations, social media content) • Be available to work flexibly throughout the year on various types of photography assignments • Deliver high-quality images suitable for communications, marketing and media relations purposes
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Most small one-person photography businesses will find the framework process bureaucratic and time-consuming, but there is no single hard disqualifier: you can bid if you have professional experience, insurance, and can meet the council's terms and conditions.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
