Summary of the contracting process

The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons, together with the House of Lords, has completed a direct procurement process for the replacement of hardware in the Parliamentary Education Centre's media servers. The procurement falls under the industry category of computer-related equipment and was conducted below the threshold without competition, awarding a contract to Electrosonic Limited. The process is in the awarding stage, with the contract signed on 30th April 2025, covering a year-long period until 1st May 2026, for a gross value of £21,871.41.
