Whether you’re applying for a major contract, submitting a competitive tender, or pitching to potential investors, a professionally produced tender video can make all the difference. At Turps Film, we help businesses across the UK stand out from the crowd – clearly, confidently, and convincingly.
We work with organisations of all shapes and sizes to craft strategic, high-impact video content that supports tenders, bids, proposals, and funding applications. These aren’t your bog-standard company overviews. These are focused, finely tuned films that show decision-makers exactly why you’re the right pick.
What is a Tender Video?
Sometimes referred to as a bid video, business pitch film, or contract submission video, a tender video is a short, purposeful piece of content designed to support your written application when bidding for a contract or seeking funding.
These videos often sit alongside your documentation, but they go far beyond what’s on paper – they humanise your offer, bring your values to life and show that you truly understand the brief.
Tender videos are particularly effective in:
- Local authority and government contract submissions
- NHS and public sector framework applications
- Investment rounds and funding applications
- Competitive procurement bids in B2B markets
Who Are Tender Videos For?
Our tender production service is tailored for:
- Companies applying for UK public sector tenders or procurement frameworks
- Businesses pitching for high-value B2B contracts
- Organisations seeking investment or growth funding
- SMEs looking to differentiate themselves in a crowded market
- Start-ups and social enterprises aiming to impress stakeholders and funders
If you’re responding to an ITT (Invitation to Tender), ITQ (Invitation to Quote), RFP (Request for Proposal), or a funding brief, a well-crafted video can help your submission land with impact!
Why Use a Video in Your Tender or Bid Submission?
Including a tender video in your submission can be the difference between blending in and being memorable. Here’s why it works:
- It Tells Your Story with Impact – Share your mission, experience and why you care about the work. A tender video lets you speak directly to evaluators.
- Put Faces to Names – Buyers want to know who they’re trusting with the contract. Seeing your team in action builds confidence.
- Stand Out from Static Submissions – Most applications are text-heavy. A video brings energy and clarity to your proposal.
- Showcase Capability Visually – Demonstrate your products, services, and past results in a way that’s hard to match with words alone.
- Build Trust Instantly – A polished, professional video positions you as serious and credible.
- Support Accessibility – Captions and voiceovers help your message reach everyone on the evaluation panel.
What Type of Video Should You Make?
Every business is different and so is every bid! We tailor your content to the opportunity, the audience and what makes you shine. Popular video types include:
- Tender Support Films – Usually 2 – 4 minutes long, these videos highlight your company’s experience, values and specific strengths that align with the contract.
- Investment Pitch Videos – Designed to grab attention and build confidence, these showcase your team, your offer and your traction in the market.
- Bid Case Studies – Real-world examples of successful delivery, past projects and client satisfaction.
- Team and Culture Videos – Give evaluators a genuine feel for who they’ll be working with; your leadership, frontline staff and working environment.
- Procurement Introduction Videos – Especially useful for pre-qualification or early-stage tenders, these can establish a positive first impression.
Need multiple versions? We can also cut shorter clips for social media or internal stakeholder engagement.

Tender Video FAQs
What is a tender video?
A tender video is a short film, usually 2 to 4 minutes long, that sits alongside your written bid, proposal or funding application. It introduces your team, shows how you’d deliver the contract and gives evaluators a reason to remember you.
Can I include a video in a public sector tender?
Often, yes, but always check the Invitation to Tender first. Some portals accept video files or links, some ask for video at the presentation stage, and some limit attachments altogether. Send us the requirements and we’ll deliver in whatever format, length and file size the buyer asks for, with captions where needed.
How long should a tender video be?
Most of our tender support films run 2 to 4 minutes. If the buyer sets a limit, we cut to it. We can also make a shorter version for pre-qualification or for sharing with stakeholders after the bid.
How quickly can you make a tender video?
Bids run to fixed deadlines, so we plan the shoot and edit backwards from your submission date. Tell us the deadline on the first call and we’ll say honestly what’s achievable.
Do you only work in the North East?
No. We’re based in North Shields, near Newcastle upon Tyne, and we film tender videos for organisations across the UK.
Can you handle confidential bid information?
Yes. We’re Cyber Essentials certified and used to working within the security requirements of public sector buyers.
How much does a tender video cost?
Our projects start from around £3,000 and run to about £20,000 with the average project falling between £4,000 and £8,000. Most one-day shoots sit at the lower end of our range. Tell us about your bid and we’ll give you a clear quote.
