Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "Hybrid Webcasting & AV Equipment" was conducted by the South Yorkshire Pensions Authority, a public organisation situated in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England. The contract has been classified under the IT services category, including consulting, software development, and Internet support. The procurement was completed with a direct award to the supplier, Public-i Group Ltd, indicating a straightforward, non-competitive procurement method. The awarded contract is valued at £92,429 and spans from 27th April 2026 to 26th April 2029. The locations for service delivery are widespread, covering the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and globally.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those offering solutions in hybrid webcasting and audio-visual equipment. Although the opportunity was awarded through a direct method, it highlights the demand for such services, suggesting future opportunities could follow for agile companies that can provide similar or enhanced technology solutions. Large-scale enterprises familiar with international service delivery across regions would be particularly well-positioned to meet the needs expressed in this procurement, as demonstrated by the successful bid from Public-i Group Ltd. The engagement with a public authority like the South Yorkshire Pensions Authority can lead to further business expansion by establishing a reputation in government contracting circles.
