UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lichfield District Council procured stage and audio-visual equipment and associated event services for its Proms in the Park event. The requirement covers the provision of equipment and event support rather than a general supply of audio-visual goods. The work relates to a public outdoor event organised by the council in Lichfield. The procurement is categorised as services and includes audio-visual equipment and event services. It was awarded to Cloud One Group Ltd, a Birmingham-based small and medium-sized enterprise. Businesses with experience in event production, temporary staging, sound reinforcement, visual equipment and the practical delivery of live public events would find the requirement most relevant. The council is the buyer and responsible public authority.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Cloud One Group Ltd. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 28 September 2029. Its value is £94,154.51 excluding VAT and £112,985.41 including VAT. The contract is active, while the tender is complete. The award covers audio-visual equipment and event services for the Proms in the Park requirement. The published information identifies the selected supplier but does not provide a separate award date or a detailed scoring breakdown. The process used a limited competition rather than an open procedure, so the relevant route for future suppliers is a focused, below-threshold competition managed by the council.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for a council-run public event that combines temporary staging, audio-visual equipment and event delivery. A credible competing supplier would need to provide, install and manage suitable stage and sound or visual systems, coordinate equipment safely in an outdoor event setting, and support reliable live operation. Relevant experience in public events, concerts, festivals or similar outdoor productions would help demonstrate the ability to deliver the full service rather than equipment hire alone. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business with sufficient operational capacity. Firms that can combine technical production expertise, dependable equipment, event planning and on-site support would be well placed for comparable work from this council.
