UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Ministry of Justice in London involves the provision of audiovisual (AV) services for the preliminary hearing of the Nottingham Inquiry. Categorised under services related to repair, maintenance, and associated audio-visual equipment, the process saw its contract stage being terminated on 19th December 2025. The procurement utilised a direct method, implemented without competition due to its below-threshold nature. The active contract was initially awarded to Radio Technical Services Limited, based in London, on 20th October 2025, with services scheduled between 6th and 8th November 2025 and a total contract value of £25,225.

This tender presented significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focusing on AV service provision, particularly those experienced in settings involving legal hearings and inquiries. Companies specialising in AV equipment maintenance and setup would find this tender an excellent opportunity to showcase their capabilities within a central government context, potentially leading to further contracts in similar future governmental or public sector settings. The direct and non-competitive nature of this procurement suggests a preference for reliability and previous performance over competitive bidding among a wide range of suppliers.
