Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured audio-visual technology consultancy services, classified under project management consultancy services. The requirement falls within professional services and concerns consultancy supporting audio-visual technology projects. The buying organisation is West Sussex County Council, with delivery associated with its offices in Chichester, West Sussex, in the South East of England. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works. Businesses operating in audio-visual technology consultancy, project management consultancy or related professional advisory services would find the subject matter relevant. The published scope is concise, so firms would need to examine the underlying requirements to establish the precise activities, outputs and technical responsibilities expected under the service.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, with submissions due by 20 March 2023 at 12:00 UTC. West Sussex County Council awarded the contract to PACIFIC COMPUTERS LTD on 20 March 2023 for GBP 183,894. The contract runs from 3 April 2023 to 2 April 2027. The procurement was evaluated within a framework call-off process, although the available details do not set out separate quality, price or other scoring weightings. It was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active and the overall procurement status is complete.

This award demonstrates established demand from West Sussex County Council for audio-visual technology consultancy delivered through a framework call-off. It is particularly relevant to small and medium-sized enterprises, since the requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and the selected supplier is itself recorded as an SME. A credible future competitor would need a demonstrable ability to advise on audio-visual technology projects and provide dependable project-management consultancy to a county council. Experience of public-sector delivery and an appropriate position on the relevant framework would be commercially important, as would the capacity to support requirements based in Chichester and the wider West Sussex area. The successful supplier profile provides a useful benchmark for firms preparing for comparable council work.
