Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government is seeking to engage suppliers for the provision of Audio Visual (AV) services, critical for their regular events where quality and reliability are paramount. The tender process, currently active, adopts an open procurement method and falls under the 'Event services' category within the services industry. Interested parties should note the final submission deadline for bids is 6th January 2026 at 12:00 PM, with services primarily delivered within the UK region. This initiative supports the ministry's broader commitment to enhancing public services across Scotland, as detailed by the procurement's legal basis referenced by the European Union directive 2014/24/EU.

Businesses specialising in AV and event services, particularly those with a keen understanding of technical and professional excellence, are well-suited to compete for this contract. The open procurement method employed suggests broad opportunities for competitive SMEs, as the award criteria prioritise both technical quality and pricing, ensuring accessible entry points for firms with capability in operational support and disaster recovery, among others. The procurement also includes optional extensions of two additional 12-month periods, affording further opportunities for long-term collaboration and growth within public sector engagements. Entrepreneurs with innovative practices addressing climate emergencies and community benefits are encouraged to partake, aligning with the Scottish Government's ethos towards sustainable and socially responsible service provision.
