Centre for ICT in Education, hereafter referred to the award authority, invites you to participate in an open tender competition with a view to concluding parallel framework agreements for the purchase of film production. The productions may comprise, for example, information materials, instructional, marketing of the centre and current projects as well as films for use in schools. The films will focus on the award authority's various audiences, including nursery, primary and secondary school education, and teacher and nursery school teacher training.

The framework agreements are related to the award authority's need for film production in the following sub-areas:

- Short Film (Live Action);

- Cartoons and Animation.

The purpose of the films will include the following:

- Focus on key issues / opportunities in the field of ICT in education;

- Increase awareness of the centre's services;

- Create motivation for using ICT in education.

The purpose of the procurement is to meet the award authority's need for such services, to the extent these are not carried out internally at the award authority. The contract should be signed with up to 4 suppliers for each of the two sub-areas.

The framework agreements to be entered into shall have a duration of 2 years. Centre for ICT will also have a unilateral right to extend the contract for 1 +1 year.

It is estimated that the framework agreements' total extent will be about 10 million for the next four-year period, of which approx. half is allocated to each of the two sub-areas. The estimate is based on the expected resource requirements, but is not binding upon Centre for ICT. The need will vary from year to year depending upon funding, activity level, others conditions and needs.
