Summary of the contracting process

Dumfries and Galloway Council is procuring a single supplier to provide livestreaming and audio-visual services for Council and committee meetings. The work includes supporting hybrid meetings, where participants attend in person or through Microsoft Teams, and livestreaming proceedings on the council’s YouTube channel. The service is intended to improve public access to meetings and support openness with stakeholders. The supplier must attend meetings in person and provide the associated audio-visual, recording and sound services. The main service category is repair and maintenance of audio-visual and optical equipment (CPV 50340000), with related requirements covering audio-visual equipment, video recording and reproducing equipment, audio-visual materials, audio cards, attendance recording systems and sound recordings. Delivery is in Dumfries and Galloway.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English by 7 October 2026 at 12:00, with bid opening and the evaluation period starting at that time. The contract is estimated to run for 1,080 days, with one optional 12-month extension at the council’s discretion. The estimated value is £376,000. There is one lot and variant bids are not allowed. Evaluation gives 40% to price and 60% to quality: delivery of services 60, continuity of services 30, Fair Work First 5 and community benefits 5. Bids must remain valid for 120 days. Electronic ordering and payment apply, while electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits an audio-visual production or technical services supplier able to deliver reliable livestreaming and meeting support for public-sector events. Relevant capability includes configuring, operating and maintaining audio, video, recording and streaming equipment; supporting Microsoft Teams and YouTube broadcasts; and providing dependable continuity across Council and committee meetings. The successful supplier will need staff who can attend meetings in person, and bidders must provide the names and professional qualifications of the staff assigned to the work. Strong service delivery and continuity arrangements will be important because quality accounts for most of the evaluation. Suppliers should also be able to address Fair Work First requirements and offer community benefits as part of their bid. The requirement is for one supplier with sufficient operational capacity to cover meetings across Dumfries and Galloway.
