Interested suppliers must submit their tenders electronically through the specified platform, with the submission deadline set for 8th December 2025. The procurement is being conducted in Glasgow, aligning with public sector safety needs, and falls under the European legal framework CELEX 32014L0024, offering a robust avenue for businesses to engage with public contracts.

This tender presents a noteworthy opportunity for manufacturers and suppliers of audio encoding technology to engage with the public sector, particularly those with strengths in technical and pricing competitiveness, as indicated by the 60% price and 40% technical evaluation weighting.
