The project, situated in Manchester, United Kingdom, focuses on the installation and commissioning of digital signage elements, inclusive of LED panels and a content control platform, at the complex. This procurement, in the works category, was completed on 30th July 2025, with the contract period extending from August 2025 to July 2028, and an option for a two-year extension upon satisfactory service review. Merson Digital Limited, a Glasgow-based SME, has been awarded the contract, valued at approximately £426,078 GBP.

The ongoing service level agreements indicate a requirement for robust support operations, highlighting a strategic opportunity for enterprises offering comprehensive installation and maintenance services.
