Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency procured smarter-working hardware, classified as audio-visual equipment, for delivery in North West England. The stated scope is hardware for a contract renewal; no specific equipment models, quantities or functions are described. The procurement is categorised as services, although the requirement title and classification point to equipment supply. The buyer is the Government Commercial Agency, with Crown Commercial Service acting on its behalf. The named customer is not relevant to defining the supplier requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly through the RM6237 low value purchase system. INTERNET VIDEOCOMMUNICATIONS LIMITED was selected on 12 October 2026 for £67,034. The contract period runs from 13 November 2026 to 14 November 2027. The estimated procurement value was also £67,034. The submission deadline was 1 September 2026. The process describes one hardware requirement and provides no lot breakdown. The only stated classification of supplier suitability is that the contract was not considered suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are recorded, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be summarised.

This award shows that the Government Commercial Agency purchases smarter-working audio-visual hardware through a direct award using the RM6237 low value purchase system, rather than a broad open competition. A future credible supplier would need to supply equipment suited to smarter-working use and be able to engage through this purchasing route. The selected supplier is a small business, demonstrating that a smaller supplier has delivered the requirement despite the buyer’s stated suitability assessment excluding SMEs. The scope provides little detail about equipment types or quantities, so businesses with a relevant audio-visual hardware range should assess the full requirement when it next comes to market. The contract is a defined, single-buyer requirement rather than a stated multi-lot opportunity.
