Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Atomic Energy Authority procured audio-visual installation and implementation services, covering the installation of communications equipment and audio-visual equipment. The work is for delivery in the South East of England, for the Authority’s operations at Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire. The requirement is a service contract for supplying and installing audio-visual systems rather than a standalone equipment purchase. It is relevant to businesses that design, supply, integrate and install professional audio-visual and communications equipment for public-sector or technically demanding environments. The buyer is the UK Atomic Energy Authority, which uses the services to provide and maintain audio-visual capability across its facilities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 5 August 2026 to Snelling Business Systems. It used further competition under a framework agreement. The awarded value for the initial three-year term is £750,000, with an option to spend a further £500,000 if the optional two-year extension is taken up. The contract period runs from 18 August 2026 to 17 August 2029. The tender submission deadline was 11 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was for services and was evaluated through the framework’s further-competition process. The contract has been awarded as a single requirement, rather than being divided into separately described lots.

This award indicates substantial, recurring demand from the UK Atomic Energy Authority for professional audio-visual installation in the South East. Competitors targeting a future requirement of this type would need the capacity to deliver a sizeable multi-year installation service, source and integrate communications and audio-visual equipment, and support deployment across an operational science and engineering environment. The successful supplier was a large business, while the procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses with established delivery teams, strong systems-integration capability, reliable equipment supply chains and experience managing complex public-sector installations would be best placed to compete when this requirement returns to market.
