Framework Agreement for Photography Services

It is the intention to create a framework agreement for Photography Services for LJMU with a minimum of three companies appointed. The total estimated spend over the duration of the framework agreement is £100,000.00, however there is no guarantee that spend will match this figure. The framework agreement will run for three years initially and will include an option to extend on a 1+1 basis, meaning a potential maximum duration of five years. All projects shall be priced and agreed by LJMU before work commences. The Photography framework will provide LJMU with suppliers who can deliver, in scope, full Photography Services primarily for the Corporate Communications and Marketing departments, however the services may be required elsewhere across the University on an ad-hoc and/or case-by-case basis.
