Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), based in Blackpool, is the buying organisation for the contract titled "Parliamentary TV supply and installation". This procurement falls under the services category and specifically involves radio, television, communication, telecommunication, and related equipment. The contract, which is set to be executed between 1st July 2026 and 31st October 2026, was successfully awarded on 4th June 2026. The procurement method was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, and encompasses delivery locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and wider Europe, with the main site being the United Kingdom. The contract value is £24,840 GBP.

This procurement presents businesses in the television supply and installation industry with a significant growth opportunity, especially those with existing framework agreements with the government. Although the contract is not initially suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), established companies with the capability to provide high-quality broadcasting equipment and services for government usage are best positioned to benefit. The awarded supplier, Whitehall TV Services Ltd, exemplifies the type of organisation suitable for this scale of government service provision. Such projects not only stabilise revenue streams but also bolster brand reputation through association with high-profile institutional contracts.
