Broadcast understands that a two-year deal has been awarded worth between £500,000 and £1m.

The contract was put out to tender in November having previously been re-tendered, and subsequently awarded to Dock 10, in 2013.

It is not yet clear how many other parties pitched for the work but Broadcast understands that there were a number of expressions of interest.

The 3,800 sq ft post facility on floor 2 of The Landing consists of 11 Avid Media Composer suites connected to Avid Isis storage and an ingest area.

The Landing is a “digital enterprise hub” backed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) and Salford City Council.

Other facilities include office space, meeting and events rooms and a viewing lounge.
