UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, a central public authority in the UK located in Glasgow, recently completed a procurement process for the supply and installation of acoustic pods, necessary to ensure Secret-level verbal communication without eavesdropping. This contract, awarded to AgileAcoustics, a small enterprise based in Saltaire, entailed a finished procurement under the open competition method. With works as the main procurement category, the acoustic pods must be modular, relocatable, and compliant with GovS 007 standards, including built-in features like lighting and ventilation. Signed on 19th January 2026, the contract is set to run until 30th April 2026 with a gross value of £32,385.

This tender presents a strategic growth opportunity for suppliers in the acoustic and sound insulation industry, particularly those that specialise in high-security communication environments. Small to medium enterprises with experience in modular structures and compliance with governmental standards could benefit significantly from such contracts. Firms able to demonstrate expertise in sound insulation will find a competitive edge by providing innovative, scalable solutions that meet stringent government requirements, especially those suppliers open to inspections and able to comply with a thorough tender process as outlined in the tender specifications.
