The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has completed a procurement process titled "Provision of Support for ONS Live Events," involving video, audio-visual (AV), and tech services. This contract, identified by ID CS-25-182, was conducted through a limited procurement method due to it being below the threshold for open competition. Situated in Newport, Wales, the ONS operates as a central government public authority. The procurement process culminated in the award of the contract on 21st October 2025, with services set to commence on 1st November 2025 and continue until 31st October 2028. This contract, valued at £42,000 gross (£35,000 net), has been awarded to GENERO PRODUCTIONS LIMITED based in Barry, Wales, and is categorised under the services industry, specifically encompassing audio-visual equipment and event services.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in event management, AV solutions, and tech support services. SME entities in particular, such as small to medium-sized enterprises, would find this procurement well aligned with their capabilities due to its limited but focused competitive scope. Businesses operating within or near Newport and Barry may especially benefit from logistical advantages.
