Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government, based in Cardiff, has completed a procurement process for the purchase of specialist filming, audio, and photography equipment under the title "Wales Brand Film and Audio equipment." The procurement falls under the industry category of radio, television, communication, telecommunication, and related equipment and is governed by Welsh devolved regulations. The tender process, which utilised a direct procurement method without competition, began in January 2025 and was completed with the contract being signed on 14th March 2025. The contract, valued at £31,866.88 excluding VAT, was awarded to Camera Centre UK, and delivery was required by the end of March 2025.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for suppliers of professional broadcast equipment, particularly those specialising in cameras, lenses, microphones, and studio lighting setups. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in providing high-quality audiovisual equipment stand to benefit, as the procurement indicates a streamlined selection process influenced by direct quotations. Businesses in similar fields should consider targeting such central government tenders to expand their market presence and establish long-term relationships with public sector bodies like the Welsh Government.

Notice Title

Wales Brand Film and Audio equipment

Notice Description

This request is in relation to the purchasing of specialist filming, audio and photography equipment. Although an extensive list, highlights include 7 cameras, 9 specialist lenses, 4 professional broadcast microphones, broadcast teleprompter system, studio lighting setup, and auxiliary items including batteries, tripods and storage cases. A procurement process for this contract was initiated in January 2025. Procurement officials attempted to obtain quotes from the WG ICT End User supplier, but the required items were not available. Officials also approached the existing AV services contract, but they confirmed that this was out of scope of the contract for WG. Three quotes were then sought and each supplier was given the same kit list and instruction that we needed the contract to be fulfilled with delivery before end of March. Following evaluation, this supplier was selected to fulfil the requirements.
