Summary of the contracting process

The University of Brighton procured audio-visual equipment for its teaching spaces refurbishment programme. The requirement is classified as audio-visual equipment and falls within the goods category. Delivery is associated with the University’s Brighton campus area. The procurement is relevant to suppliers of classroom and higher-education AV equipment, including businesses able to provide equipment for refurbished teaching environments. The named buyer is the University of Brighton, based on Lewes Road, Brighton. The requirement concerns equipment supply rather than a broader construction or professional services contract. It may therefore suit manufacturers, distributors, specialist AV suppliers and education-sector technology providers whose offer covers the equipment needed to update teaching spaces.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. The University of Brighton used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 30 June 2026 at 1pm, and the award was made on 30 June 2026. GVAV Limited was selected for the contract at £296,028.43 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 1 September 2026. The published procurement value and awarded value are the same. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. No separate lots are recorded.

This award shows that the University of Brighton buys substantial volumes of audio-visual equipment for teaching-space refurbishment through a framework call-off route. A competitor seeking to be credible when a comparable requirement returns would need a strong supply offer for education and teaching environments, with the capacity to deliver a requirement of this scale within a short contract period. Access to the relevant framework route would be important, because this procurement was not run as an unrestricted tender. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable equipment sourcing, project coordination and delivery for institutional refurbishment programmes. The opportunity was marked as suitable for SMEs, so a specialist smaller supplier with the necessary framework access and delivery capacity could be well placed.
