Summary of the contracting process

The Outwood Grange Academies Trust has announced an active and open procurement opportunity for the supply, installation, and support of Audio-Visual (AV) equipment, intended to enhance the learning environments of its academies in various UK regions, including UKC, UKD, UKE, and UKF. The procurement process, currently in the tender stage, invites proposals until 9th March 2026, with an anticipated award by 20th March 2026. The contract envisages an initial two-year term starting from 18th May 2026, with a possible two-year extension subject to performance and requirement stability. This opportunity aligns with the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2023, using an open procurement procedure, ensuring competitive access to SMEs and larger enterprises alike.

This contract represents a significant business growth opportunity for companies operating in the AV sector. Vendors that specialize in the provision and integration of AV solutions, particularly those capable of delivering across multiple locations with flexible support structures, will find this tender particularly appealing. The emphasis on both interactive and non-interactive displays, along with associated hardware such as mounts and cabling, suits businesses that offer comprehensive AV solutions with a track record of quality and competitive pricing. Furthermore, as an open competition, it encourages diverse participation, offering a platform to engage with a major educational institution and enhance business credibility and market presence.
