UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire procured installation labour for all audio-visual and conferencing equipment at its new headquarters. The requirement covered the associated travel and expenses as well as the installation work, making this a specialist audio-visual and conferencing systems installation service rather than a supply-only contract. The work was for the new Hertfordshire headquarters; the buyer is based at Harpenden Police Station. The procurement was classified under CPV 51322000, covering installation services for television transmitters, although the stated requirement focuses on audio-visual and conferencing equipment. This opportunity would suit businesses that install, configure or support professional conferencing and audio-visual systems in public-sector or large-building environments, particularly where installation labour and site travel need to be provided together.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot is complete. Smart Audio Visual Services, an SME based in Hitchin, was awarded the contract on 24 July 2026, with the contract running from 27 to 31 July 2026. The contract value was £10,000 excluding VAT, or £12,000 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active. The award was assessed through a limited procedure rather than an open competition, and the published outcome identifies installation services as the main procurement category. The requirement was delivered as one award to one supplier, covering the labour, travel and expenses associated with installing the audio-visual and conferencing equipment for the new headquarters.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Hertfordshire’s policing authority for specialist installation support linked to a new headquarters development. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical capability to install audio-visual and conferencing equipment, organise site-based labour and manage travel and expenses as part of a defined installation assignment. Experience coordinating work in a new-build or complex operational building would be commercially relevant, particularly where multiple conferencing and audio-visual systems must be installed as one package. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement could be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national integrator. Businesses with local or regional coverage around Hertfordshire may also be well placed to provide responsive installation labour.
