Tender Summary

Objectives

The primary objective of this tender is to appoint a service provider capable of producing a Television Commercial (TVC) that highlights the good work of the Special Investigating Unit (SIU), specifically focusing on the NSFAS investigations. The TVC aims to showcase the SIU’s role in reforming governance systems, emphasizing transparency, integrity, and the significant financial recoveries made through their investigations.

Scope

The scope encompasses end-to-end production of a 1-minute TVC, including all phases from pre-production, shooting, post-production, to delivery. The commercial must be produced in both landscape (16:9) and vertical (9:16) formats, with variations such as shortened versions (15-30 seconds), silent cuts, and cutdowns. The content should focus on themes like truth, relentless investigation, and the positive impact of SIU’s work, particularly around the NSFAS investigation.

Specific requirements include:

  • Producing a TVC about the NSFAS investigations.
  • Delivering the final TVC by 10 July 2026.
  • Including all production costs such as sourcing talent, equipment, personnel, transportation, and licensing music.
  • Providing a production schedule alongside the bid.
  • Allowing access to archives and B-roll footage where applicable.

Technical Requirements

  • Content must be in 4K resolution.
  • Shooting formats: both 16:9 landscape and 9:16 vertical aspect ratios.
  • Language: predominantly English with vernac languages for emphasis, with subtitles as needed.
  • Locations: all permissible, with limited access to SIU offices if required.
  • All content should reflect themes of truth, investigation, and hope, utilizing strong visual metaphors and cinematic style.

Skills and Experience Requirements

  • Proven experience in producing high-quality TVCs, preferably with a portfolio demonstrating similar work.
  • Established network of reliable service providers (talent, equipment, post-production) with supporting agreements.
  • Capability to manage all production phases from concept to delivery within tight deadlines.
  • Ability to incorporate themes of investigation, transparency, and societal impact effectively.
  • Experience in working with government or public sector clients is advantageous.
  • Provide CVs of key personnel, such as the Producer/Project Manager, demonstrating relevant expertise.

Joint Ventures, Consortia and Subcontracting:

Most large tenders are composed of tasks in a number of different fields, and it is not always possible for a single company to cater for all of them, and therefore Joint Ventures and Consortia are formed to then submit a tender together.

Government tenders are also requiring the subcontracting of a percentage of the tender work, and the trouble is then finding Subcontractors to comply with the tender requirements

To assist companies with finding tender partners and subcontractors, you can now submit your contact details and company information on this page, so other interested parties can contact you for purposes of forming Joint Ventures and subcontracting
