Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

APUC Limited, acting for its university and college members, intends to procure energy-efficient audio-visual equipment and related solutions for use in Scotland. The requirement covers audio-visual equipment, materials and accessories, together with consultancy, system design, supply, installation, commissioning, maintenance and technical support for audio-visual systems. The proposed arrangement is intended to give participating education institutions access to equipment and a compliant route to market for project work. It therefore covers both the supply of individual audio-visual products and the delivery and ongoing operation of complete systems. The main category is goods, with associated project management consultancy and repair and maintenance services. Work is expected to support the needs of universities and colleges across Scotland.

This procurement is at the planning stage: APUC has set out its intention to procure and plans supplier engagement sessions before issuing the tender. The proposed procurement is a framework agreement with two planned lots: energy-efficient audio-visual equipment, and energy-efficient audio-visual solutions covering consultancy, design, supply, installation and maintenance. A supplier may be awarded a maximum of two lots. The estimated total value is £48,000,000. A future notice is expected on 13 November 2026; this is an indicative publication date, not a deadline to respond. The engagement sessions are intended to let potential suppliers present and discuss their services. The framework is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

The planned framework should suit manufacturers, distributors and specialist audio-visual integrators able to supply energy-efficient equipment to the education sector. It may also suit firms combining product supply with consultancy, system design, project management, installation, commissioning, maintenance and operational support. Suppliers with experience delivering complete audio-visual systems across multiple sites in Scotland could be well placed, particularly where they can support institutions with a compliant, repeatable route to market for project work. Businesses that provide equipment, materials and accessories may align with the equipment lot, while systems integrators and service providers may align with the solutions lot. Potential participants should prepare evidence of relevant technical capability, delivery capacity, installation resources and long-term support arrangements.
