Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics bought an audiovisual equipment solution for use across its sites in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers the supply, installation, configuration and commissioning of audiovisual equipment, including the associated systems needed to make the solution operational. This is primarily a goods procurement, with a substantial installation and technical services element. The buyer is the Office for National Statistics, based in Newport, Wales. The scope is therefore relevant to audiovisual equipment suppliers, systems integrators and technical contractors able to deliver a coordinated solution across multiple ONS locations rather than a single-site supply.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 6 July 2026 to CINOS LIMITED. The award value is £1,800,000, within an estimated procurement range of £274,519.76 to £1,800,000. The contract runs from 21 July 2026 to 20 July 2027. It was conducted through a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, with tender submissions due by 29 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was evaluated as a completed call-off for audiovisual equipment and related delivery, installation and commissioning services. The award is active, and the successful supplier is CINOS LIMITED.

This award demonstrates demand from the Office for National Statistics for a substantial, multi-site audiovisual deployment combining equipment supply with installation, configuration and commissioning. A credible future competitor would need to integrate audiovisual systems across different locations, manage equipment procurement and logistics, configure systems to a consistent standard, and commission them into operational use. Practical delivery capability matters alongside product knowledge, including the ability to coordinate site work, test completed installations and provide a reliable end-to-end service. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so an established SME systems integrator with relevant audiovisual delivery experience could be well placed to compete when this type of requirement returns.
