Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe City of Helsinki is procuring photography services through a framework agreement covering three sub-areas: sub-area 1 for architecture, built environment and landscape photography; sub-area 2 for communication and marketing images including event photography; and sub-area 3 for project-based photography assignments. Three service providers will be selected for each sub-area, unless fewer suppliers meet the requirements. The photography must follow the city's visual identity guidelines, photography instructions and image rights agreements, or the guidelines specified by the ordering unit where these differ. Images will be used in internal and external communication and marketing, such as printed materials, digital platforms, office applications, products and outdoor advertising. The service user is the Culture and Leisure Division. The estimated total value over a 48-month contract period, including a two-year initial period plus one two-year option period, is at most EUR 490,000 excluding VAT, with no quantities guaranteed.
