UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Swansea University has completed the procurement process for the installation of a sound and control system at the Wales National Pool. Categorised within the services industry, this contract, identified by the title "Wales National Pool Sound System," involves the implementation of a communication equipment setup. The procurement process followed a limited method due to its below-threshold status, with the legal basis rooted in the UKPGA 2023/54. The process has advanced to the award stage as of 18th June 2025, and the contract, which was signed on 17th June 2025, will commence on 1st July 2025, concluding by 30th September 2025. Located in Swansea, within the UKL18 region, the project is governed by Welsh devolved regulations.

This procurement opportunity, valued at £98,528, presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in installation services of communications equipment. Given its tailored nature and limited competition framework, it suits small and medium enterprises (SMEs) operating within the audio-visual and communication installation sectors. Notably, Vaughan Sound Installations Ltd, an SME based in Llanelli, has successfully been awarded the contract, highlighting the viable market for adept service providers within the local Welsh industry. This reinforces the potential for firms in similar domains to leverage such procurement opportunities to expand their business footprint.
