Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of Audio Visual Equipment for the Autumn Award Ceremonies at the University of Staffordshire has culminated in a direct award to HSL Entertainment Management Ltd. This contract involves supplying equipment, stage setup, on-the-day support, and de-rigging services, specifically for events taking place in Stoke on Trent, UK. The process was concluded without competition as it fell below the procurement threshold. The contract commenced on 6th November 2025 and will end on 17th November 2025, with a total gross value of £50,035.
