In brief

Department for Business & Trade awarded leisure and events work to The British Film Institute and Film London on 3 November 2026.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

What the notice says

The procurement will appoint the British Film Commission (BFC) to provide in-market representation in Los Angeles, promoting the UK as a destination for film and high-end television investment. The service will build relationships with key US industry stakeholders, identify inward investment opportunities, and provide market intelligence to support trade and FDI objectives. DBT has made a direct award to BFC because it is the recognised national body for attracting and supporting inward investment screen production and offers specialist expertise and industry relationships that cannot be replicated by alternative suppliers. Its established UK-wide network, strong links with US studios and production companies, and proven record of supporting projects responsible for approximately 93% of UK inward investment HETV spend make BFC best placed to deliver the required production support and business development activity.
