UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Experience Campus Ltd procured an assisted listening system for its Campus venues: the Exhibition Centre, Conference Centre and M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool. The requirement covers electronic equipment and associated electronic supplies, with the stated purpose of providing assisted listening services across these venues. The buyer is the organisation responsible for the Campus procurement. This opportunity is relevant to suppliers of assisted listening technology, venue audio systems and specialist electronic equipment, particularly businesses able to provide an Ampetronic Auri-based solution or an equivalent system through an authorised or established reseller arrangement. The work is focused on equipment for a group of major event and conference venues rather than general audio-visual services or construction works.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot and three bids reached the final stage. Canford Audio Ltd was awarded the contract on 4 June 2026 for £65,400 gross. The awarded contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. The contract was signed on 19 June 2026 and is recorded as active. The buyer used a limited procedure rather than an open competition. The award relates to the supply of assisted listening electronic equipment and supplies for Liverpool Experience Campus venues. The published outcome shows Canford Audio Ltd as the selected Ampetronic Auri reseller.

Although this contract has been awarded, it gives competing suppliers a clear view of Liverpool Experience Campus Ltd’s demand for specialist assisted listening equipment across several high-profile venues. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in assisted listening systems, including knowledge of Ampetronic Auri technology or an established ability to supply comparable equipment through an appropriate reseller route. Suppliers should be able to support venue requirements spanning exhibition, conference and arena environments, where reliable electronic equipment and compatibility with different public-facing spaces are important. The competition attracted three final-stage bids, showing that the requirement was contested, while no final-stage bids came from SMEs. Larger specialist distributors and experienced audio-equipment resellers are therefore relevant comparators for this buyer’s requirement.
