Provision of RF and PA System Equipment
Notice Description
The University of South Wales is seeking to procure equipment to support the upgrade and replacement of the RF and PA systems within the theatre control room for the Faculty of Business and Creative Industries at the Cardiff campus.

The theatre space is used extensively as a teaching and learning environment for students across drama and event-related courses, and it also supports a wide range of in-house and external events. The appointed supplier will be required to provide the equipment specified. Installation works will be carried out by the University's in-house technical team, and all supplied equipment must be compatible with the proposed system design and suitable for integration into the upgraded control room environment.
