Introduction

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce (AGCC) invites member suppliers to tender for the contract(s) to supply photograph and filming services for the 2021 Northern Star Business Awards.

AGCC’s procurement policy is to issue this ITT to members and only if we judge that there are fewer than three organisations able to meet the brief will we extend the invitation to non-members.

About the Awards

With an audience of around 600 guests, the Northern Star Business Awards recognise the exceptional accomplishments of organisations across the North-east.

From pioneering innovation and outstanding customer service to excellence in people development, environmental outlook and marketing prowess, the awards provide a high-profile platform for showcasing success.

Now in their 17th year, they are the Chamber’s flagship event and an important element of our brand profile in the region.

The 2021 ceremony will take place on Thursday March 11 at P&J Live, from 5.30pm – 12.30am.
