Summary of the contracting process

Urras nan Tursachan, a charitable organisation located at the Calanais Visitor Centre on the Isle of Lewis, is seeking an experienced Audio-Visual (AV) production company and hardware supplier for their new exhibition development. The procurement titled "AV Content and Hardware" falls under the goods category, with a specific focus on audio-visual equipment. The open procedure method is utilised for this tender process, which has moved to the award stage, having previously been at the tender stage during mid-2025. Key deadlines included the tender period ending on 4th August 2025, and the active contract is valued at £278,870, signed on 14th October 2025.

This tender presents a vital opportunity for businesses specialising in AV equipment and related services to engage in this unique project, which will contribute to the development of a cultural and leisure destination. With a strong emphasis on quality, accounting for 70% of the award criteria, and price making up the remaining 30%, businesses that can guarantee high-standard content production and installation are well-suited to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), such as the awarded supplier, Heehaw Limited, are encouraged to participate, given the procurement preference for electronic submissions and using an open procedure method. Successful bidders have the potential to grow their portfolio and gain a reputable contract reference with a public sector cultural institution.
