The University of Winchester has completed a public procurement process for the "TV Studio 2 Upgrade" project, aimed at enhancing its television studio capabilities. The procurement, which falls under the category of radio, television, communication, telecommunication, and related equipment, was executed through an open competition method below the threshold for goods procurement. Located in Hampshire, UK, the process involves the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of studio equipment, as well as onsite training for long-term operation. The contract was awarded to The Digital Garage Group Limited on 8th May 2026, with the project scheduled to start on 21st May 2026 and conclude by 31st July 2026.

Participation in this tender presented significant opportunities for suppliers focused on broadcast technology and studio upgrades, particularly those able to offer modern, integrated solutions suitable for higher education environments. Businesses with expertise in 4K-capable studio design, LED lighting, automation, and professional green-screen virtual studio setups were well-suited to compete. The tender also placed emphasis on price and quality, offering a platform for both established companies and SMEs to showcase their capabilities and innovate in alignment with industry standards used by major broadcasters. The scope for onsite training knowledge transfer further allows businesses to establish ongoing relationships with educational institutions, enhancing their market footprint and fostering future business growth.
