UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Warrington Borough Council procured a webcasting and conference system as a services contract. The requirement covers audio-visual equipment together with associated IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support. It is intended to provide the council with the technology and service capability needed to webcast and support conferences. The contracting authority is Warrington Borough Council, a sub-central public authority based in Warrington. The awarded requirement is a single service package rather than a set of separately described workstreams. Businesses with expertise in public-sector webcasting, conference technology, audio-visual integration, software and ongoing technical support would find the subject matter relevant. The service is centred on the council’s operations in Warrington.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and awarded to PUBLIC-I GROUP LIMITED. The award covers the full requirement as one lot. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2030. Its value is £166,580 excluding VAT, or £199,896 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was conducted through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so the published outcome identifies the selected supplier but does not set out comparative scoring or weighting. This is a four-year council technology services contract for webcasting and conference provision.

This award shows established demand from Warrington Borough Council for an integrated webcasting and conference capability, combining audio-visual equipment with software, internet connectivity, technical support and related IT expertise. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate that it can deliver the whole service rather than only supply hardware: this includes configuring and integrating conference and webcast systems, supporting software and online services, and providing dependable ongoing assistance. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that delivery is not limited to the largest technology providers. Relevant businesses include specialist audio-visual integrators, civic webcasting providers, conference-system suppliers and IT service companies able to support council operations over a multi-year arrangement.
