UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire procured audio-visual installation services for the new Hertfordshire headquarters. The requirement covered labour, travel and expenses associated with audio-visual and conferencing equipment, including installation and related equipment work. The service category is repair and maintenance of audio-visual and optical equipment (CPV 50340000). The work is associated with the new Herts HQ building, with the buying organisation based at Harpenden Police Station. This is a public-sector requirement for a specialist audio-visual services provider able to support conferencing equipment and related installations in a headquarters environment. The named buyer is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire, and the selected supplier was Smart Audio Visual Services, based in Hitchin.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The tender had one completed lot. Smart Audio Visual Services received the award, and the contract was signed on 19 July 2026. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 21 July 2026. Its value is £15,000 excluding VAT and £18,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition, so the route involved competition among a restricted field of suppliers. The evaluation basis is evidenced by the completed award to Smart Audio Visual Services for the stated audio-visual installation requirement. The process was below the applicable threshold and the award relates to the full audio-visual and conferencing equipment requirement in the single lot.

For competitors, this award demonstrates demand from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire for practical audio-visual installation support at a new headquarters. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need to provide labour for audio-visual and conferencing equipment work, manage associated travel and expenses, and deliver specialist installation or maintenance services. Experience with audio-visual and optical equipment is directly relevant, particularly where conferencing systems form part of a new public-sector building. The limited-competition route indicates that suppliers should be able to identify and respond to restricted opportunities rather than relying only on open tenders. Businesses serving Hertfordshire or nearby areas, including established audio-visual contractors in the local market, may be well placed to offer responsive delivery and travel-efficient support.
