What is being bought

Published requirement description

North Northamptonshire Council invites quotations for the production of two new promotional films as part of its ongoing 'Space to Grow' inward investment series. The films will support the UK Shared Prosperity Fund programme by promoting North Northamptonshire as an attractive location for business investment, skills development and high quality living.

The new films will focus on:

  • A Place to Progress - showcasing local skills, training, education, employment pathways and workforce development opportunities.
  • A Place to Enjoy - highlighting the area's lifestyle offer, leisure, culture, visitor attractions and overall quality of life.

The supplier will be required to deliver all filming, production, editing and creative development. This includes:

  • On location filming across a range of urban, rural, commercial and leisure settings.
  • Talking head interviews with local businesses and organisations.
  • Drone footage, b-roll, timelapse and on-screen graphics.
  • Cohesion with the visual style and pace of the existing five 'Space to Grow' films.
  • Creation of a visual asset library (photos and video clips) for future Council use.

The finished films will form a key part of the Council's inward investment marketing and communications, supporting engagement with businesses, investors and strategic partners across the UK and beyond.
