Summary of the contracting process

The University of Brighton, located in Brighton, England, has recently completed a public procurement process for the "OFS Teaching Spaces Refurbishment - AV Equipment", valued at £515,675.24. This tender was for the supply of audio-visual equipment and was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement under a selective procurement method. The contract was awarded on 9th January 2026 to GVAV Limited, a large supplier, with the delivery location specified as BN2 4AT. The contract period spanned from 12th January 2026 to 31st March 2026, and the process was categorised under the goods sector.
