Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by The Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire, focusing on the acquisition of a swing frame for a large LED video wall. This project falls within the goods category, specifically related to video equipment, and is located in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. The procurement has reached the award and contract stage, with the process officially completed on 9th July 2026. The procurement was conducted through a direct method, below the threshold, and without competition, as noted in the legal framework reference UKPGA 2023/54. The contract titled "Video wall frame and mount" was signed on 17th May 2026 for the amount of £14,900 (excluding VAT), covering the period from 18th May to 19th May 2026.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses involved in the design and supply of custom video wall solutions, especially those capable of delivering bespoke steel support frames. Large suppliers that can offer direct procurement solutions without competitive tendering are well-suited for such contracts, as was demonstrated by the chosen supplier, Smart Audio Visual Services Ltd. The involvement of sub-central government as the buying organisation highlights the potential for future contracts of a similar nature in this sector, providing opportunities for growth for suppliers who can specialise in high-quality video equipment and associated hardware.
