Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Beckett University is seeking tenders for the provision of audio-visual equipment supply and maintenance as detailed under tender ID 810LB. This procurement falls within the goods category and follows an open procedure method. Located in Leeds, the buying organisation is classified as a public authority sub-central government. The tender comes as the existing contract is due to expire, aiming to reflect technological advancements and additional service provisions. The contract, valued at £500,000 gross, will be implemented across various university facilities including large lecture rooms and small tutorial spaces. The tender process is currently active, with the deadline for submissions being 4th September 2026, and the period for enquiries ending on 10th August 2026. The contract is set to start on 1st November 2026 and extend until 31st October 2029, with options for renewal.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply and maintenance of audio-visual equipment, especially those with strong capabilities in design and support services. The project requires a partner who can adapt to the university’s needs for innovative solutions and efficient support. Companies with a proven track record in providing high-quality audio-visual systems, as well as the ability to offer consultancy and project support, are well-suited to compete for this contract. The award criteria place a significant emphasis on price, quality of proposed solutions, the availability of installation resources, and the experience in the market. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, with the contract offering promising prospects for growth through engagement with an established educational institution.
