Summary of the contracting process

City & County of Swansea sought supply and installation of digital LED screens for a new building in Swansea. The requirement included a large screen and a wall-mounted 55-inch screen as essential items, with the number of smaller screens dependent on cost and budget. Screens needed to be robust and include the hardware and cloud connections required to run Scala CMS, which the council uses for its digital assets across the city. The council would provide access to its Scala Player licence. This is a supply-and-installation opportunity for digital display equipment, including integration with an existing content management system.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender reached completion, but the award was cancelled because the specification and requirements changed. Bidders could submit questions until 3 July 2026 at 12:00 and offers by 10 July 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period was 1–30 September 2026. The estimated value was £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). There was one lot. Evaluation weighted price at 60% and quality at 40%.

The requirement suited suppliers able to source and install commercial digital screens, including a large display and 55-inch wall-mounted units, and to provide robust equipment for a new building. Suppliers needed to ensure the screens had the hardware and cloud connectivity to work with Scala CMS. The council supplied access to its Scala Player licence, so bidders needed to provide compatible equipment and integration rather than that licence. The smaller-screen quantity was dependent on budget, making flexibility in configuring the overall screen package relevant. The procurement was also marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Offers were assessed on both price and quality, so delivery capability and the quality of the proposed solution mattered alongside cost.
