Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons focuses on the "Remote Contribution Hub" project, which involves the provision of broadcasting equipment. The procurement caters to the technical facilities required by Members and Peers to contribute remotely to business in either Chamber and in Committees, both during Business As Usual (BAU) and Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) scenarios. The procurement is classified under the goods category and is above the financial threshold. Located in London, United Kingdom, this procurement is currently in the planning stage. The contract period is scheduled to run from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2028. The planned communication reflects that a future notice is expected by July 1, 2025, for further details.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in broadcasting equipment, particularly those capable of supporting advanced technological solutions for remote contributions. It is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). With a significant contract value and a multi-year timeline, businesses stand to benefit from establishing a substantial client relationship with a central government authority. The procurement initiative supports growth by providing access to a high-profile client and exposure in the central government sector for capable vendors, fostering long-term partnerships and potential future engagements.
