Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets procured a webcasting service for its council meetings. The requirement combines leased webcasting equipment, support for audiovisual equipment in the council chamber and committee room, and hosting of the webcasting system so that people can view meetings accessibly. This is an IT and digital support service, rather than a purchase of equipment alone: suppliers need to provide and maintain the technical setup as well as operate the hosted viewing platform. The work is for Tower Hamlets in London and relates to the borough’s webcast meetings.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Public-i Group Ltd through a direct award. The award was made on 24 July 2026, and the contract runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029. The awarded contract value is £146,564. The original tender submission deadline was 2 June 2026. The requirement was classified as a services contract and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published procurement details do not set out a scored evaluation or award criteria; the stated route was a direct award rather than a competitive tender. The selected supplier is Public-i Group Ltd.

For suppliers assessing comparable future work for Tower Hamlets, this award demonstrates demand for an integrated council-meeting webcasting service: leased equipment, audiovisual support in both the chamber and committee room, and a hosted platform that makes meetings accessible to viewers. A credible competitor would need to bring together equipment provision, dependable on-site or technical support for meeting-room AV, and the ability to host and support a public-facing webcast system. The requirement is suitable for an SME, and the award went to an SME supplier, showing that this scale of service is not restricted to large contractors. Experience delivering webcasting for public meetings and coordinating the equipment, support and hosting components would be directly relevant.
