The University of East Anglia (UEA), a public authority sub-central government body, recently completed a procurement process for their "Graduation 2026" event. The procurement, carried out under the legal basis of the UKPGA 2023/54, involved direct awarding to Pylon One Limited, a company recognised for their expertise in event data systems, network, communications, and CCTV services. This contract involves services within the UKH15 region, specifically in Norwich, United Kingdom. The procurement method employed was below threshold and without competition, with the tender finalised and contract awarded on 18th May 2026.
