Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Serious Fraud Office procured audio-visual services for its new office. The requirement covers installation, configuration, relocation, integration and commissioning of AV equipment, together with room-booking services. This is a specialist workplace technology and AV integration requirement, including the practical delivery and setup of meeting-room and office systems. The work is for the Serious Fraud Office’s new office location in London. The buyer is the Serious Fraud Office, which will use the services to establish and operate its AV environment and room-booking arrangements. The requirement is classified under audio-visual and optical equipment repair and maintenance services, although the described scope is primarily implementation, integration and associated operational support. It is identified as a services procurement and was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Serious Fraud Office used a selective procedure to call off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Snelling Business Systems on 5 August 2026 for £102,081 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 5 August 2026 to 30 November 2026. The tender submission deadline was 4 August 2026. The award is active, and the awarded supplier is Snelling Business Systems. The published requirement describes the services and the framework call-off route, while the available procurement data does not state a separate price-versus-quality weighting or other detailed evaluation formula. The opportunity therefore records a completed framework-based purchase rather than a current invitation for suppliers to submit bids.

For an AV integrator that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates demand from the Serious Fraud Office for end-to-end workplace AV delivery rather than equipment supply alone. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to combine installation, configuration, relocation, systems integration and commissioning skills, with the ability to support room-booking services in an operational office. Experience coordinating multiple technical activities at a new office location would be relevant, as would the capacity to deliver a complete, dependable meeting-room and collaboration environment. The procurement also shows that this buyer uses framework call-offs for this type of work and that an SME supplier was selected. Businesses with established framework access, practical delivery capacity and demonstrable AV integration experience would be well placed when the requirement next returns to market.
