Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process undertaken by the University of Salford, a sub-central government public authority, focuses on upgrading their teaching facilities with advanced Audio Visual (AV) equipment. The tender, titled "Next Gen Teaching Spaces - Seminar - PC labs," aims to transform seminar spaces and computer labs, which comprise 80% of their campus. Located in Salford, UK, the University awarded the contract on 4th July 2025, with Roche Audio Visual, a small to medium enterprise based in Halifax, serving as the supplier for the project. The procurement followed a limited competition method below the threshold, commencing on 15th July 2025 and planned for completion by 15th July 2026. This contract falls under the services category with a focus on project and design preparation.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in Audio Visual solutions to expand their reach in the educational sector. Companies adept in design and innovative AV technology installations would find this contract particularly appealing, given the project's goal to create state-of-the-art teaching environments. The limited procurement method indicates focused competition, making it an attractive chance for niche AV businesses, particularly SMEs, to showcase their capabilities and secure a foothold in a prestigious academic institution like the University of Salford.
