Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, a public body governed by law, conducted an open procurement process under the legal framework of EU Directive 2014/24/EU. The process, identified as "RCS24007", focused on acquiring film equipment, including cameras and supporting supplies. This procurement was classified under the CPV code 32321100, indicating a goods category. The tenders were conducted using an open procedure that allowed electronic submissions, with key dates including a submission deadline on 4th October 2024, and an award period beginning on the same day. The procurement was split into two lots: "SDDPF" and "Short", both with similar evaluation criteria focusing equally on technical quality and price. Delivery was planned for the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, located in Glasgow, UKM82.

This tender process generated opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as CVP (Creative Video Productions), which successfully won both lots, with contracts signed in January 2025. The process offered equal weightage to quality and cost, creating a balanced opportunity for businesses that specialise in high-quality film equipment to enhance their growth by securing public contracts. SMEs capable of providing high-quality technical film equipment and competitive pricing would have found this a lucrative opportunity, particularly leveraging the openness of the electronic submission policy to facilitate participation. The structure of the procurement process exemplifies a favourable environment for businesses seeking to expand their footprint in the public sector market.
