Stream UK’s on COI’s re-launched Live Events Roster
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009
The Central Office of Information (COI) has radically overhauled its framework (roster) of live event agencies and Stream UK were top scorers for webcasting.
COI’s Live Events team thoroughly evaluated over 1300 individual applications and reviewed thousands of CVs and case studies during the review. The successful agencies were selected on the basis of their proven expertise and experience and Stream UK have been chosen to provide live and on-demand webcasting services until 2013.
The list allows agencies to compete for government and public sector work without the requirement for a lengthy procurement process for every contract and annually COI Live Events commission more than 300 projects from its roders for a total value exceeding £12m.
Simon Hughes, Director of Live Events, said:
“We had a fantastic response for this review and I really appreciate all the hard work that everyone involved had to put in.
We’ve extended the range of suppliers on the framework in order to both focus our procurement processes and give our clients greater choice and flexibility.
My team are really looking forward to working with the new framework agencies in what will be a challenging period. We’re very confident that we have the best mix of talent to help us devise great event solutions for our clients over the next few years.”

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009
Having left the den, ex-‘Dragon’ Doug Richard and his School for Startups have proved to be the leading provider of business training for fledgling and established entrepreneurs in the UK. September saw the final session of the ‘Fast Growth Marketing for Growing Businesses’ workshop webcast live hundreds of entrepreneurs around the world and today S4Stv will be webcasting ‘Find, Pitch & Close – The Art of Securing Investment’ Click here to sign up to view the event.
Using Stream UK’s production team to film, mix and encode the footage – the session was delivered with the new release of Stream Connect, Stream UK’s webcasting tool. Stream Connect has been reviewed as “a simplified yet powerful interactive streaming platform that could be managed by the presenter” (Tim Siglin, Streaming Media Magazine) and as it continues to develop, the tool is allowing companies to provide professional level webcast experiences without relying on outside experts.
A key part of the S4S sessions is the ability of the live audience to interact with experts, asking questions and offering feedback. Stream Connect’s interactive options allow this to be extended to web-viewers worldwide. There was constant activity in the online chat room, and future events could use the voting and moderator announcements. Over the next year, Stream UK will continue to deliver production services, encoding, hosting and streaming services, as the School grows its online presence.
