This open tender process is classified under the CPV category: Radio, television, communication, telecommunication, and related equipment. The procurement is designed as an open competition and falls below the standard financial threshold. Interested suppliers must register their interest by 1 pm on 27th February 2026, with the deadline for tender submissions set for 30th March 2026 at 1 pm UK local time. The procurement's location is primarily within the region of UKD46, centred on Nelson, United Kingdom, with the contract period spanning from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028.

This tender presents a growth opportunity for businesses, especially those specialising in audio-visual and streaming services, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Since the tender is open and under the threshold, it is accessible and suitable for new market entrants or smaller businesses looking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts.
