Live Streaming and Filming Services

The University is seeking to appoint a supplier to provide filming and live streaming services for its Summer and Winter graduation ceremonies. Graduation ceremonies are formal University events and form a core part of the academic calendar. The services procured under this tender will support the delivery of these events by ensuring ceremonies are professionally filmed and made available via live stream. The Summer graduation ceremonies are held annually in July and typically involve approximately 5,000 graduates with ceremonies typically delivered in one week at the Lowry, Salford Quays. The Winter graduation ceremonies are held annually in December and typically involve approximately 3,000 graduates, also delivered over a one-week period, and held at Maxwell Hall, University of Salford. The supplier will be required to provide all necessary filming and streaming services to support the delivery of the ceremonies, including technical set-up, live operation and de-rig, and to work in coordination with University staff and other appointed contractors/venues. The level of detail required within the specification will be proportionate to the scale and profile of the events, and suppliers are expected to demonstrate relevant experience in delivering similar services for large-scale, multi-day events. We are looking for a supplier to provide this service on a three-year contract.
