UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Imperial War Museums involves an open tender for the supply and delivery of audio-visual hardware for the Digital Zone project at IWM Duxford. This contract falls under the category of television and audio-visual equipment, with a main procurement location in the United Kingdom, specifically IWM Duxford in region UKH12. The tender is currently active and is accepting proposals until 9th March 2026, with an enquiry period open until 20th February 2026. The procurement is conducted under an "open" method, suitable for below-threshold competition, with a total contract value of GBP 90,600 excluding VAT, and a term from 6th April to 31st July 2026.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses in the audio-visual sector, especially those able to supply comprehensive AV hardware solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the contract allows for joint bids or consortiums, provided there is a main contractor. The evaluation criteria include cost assessment, proof of supply chain, quality assurance, post-sales support, warranty, and delivery plan, making this an opportunity for companies with robust logistics, quality control measures, and competitive pricing models to secure a government contract and expand their portfolio in the public sector.
