This procurement seeks a contractor to supply and install AV equipment in new teaching spaces at the Canterbury campus, specifically within the former Origins bar at Darwin College. The procurement process follows the open method under a below-threshold classification for services and goods. Key dates include the submission deadline on 2nd June 2025, and the contract period starting from 23rd June until 7th July 2025. Interested parties can submit electronically, with enquiries due by 19th May 2025. The project's estimated value is £120,000 with a focus on quality and price weighting of 60% and 40% respectively.
