UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council is buying an audio-visual system as a goods contract. The requirement covers supplying, fitting and maintaining the system, including associated software and information systems. The work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a practical installation and support requirement rather than a standalone software purchase: suppliers will need to provide the equipment or system, complete its installation and maintain it during the contract. The opportunity is relevant to audio-visual equipment suppliers, systems integrators and businesses that combine technology supply with installation and ongoing maintenance services. The council is the public-sector buyer for the procurement.

The procurement has reached tender: Middlesbrough Council invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition. Bids may be submitted electronically through www.open.uk.org by 30 September 2026 at 23:59. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its estimated value is £143,269 excluding VAT, or £179,086 including VAT. The procurement is a single lot. Offers will be assessed primarily on quality, weighted at 80%, with price weighted at 20%. This means the tender places substantially greater emphasis on the proposed technical solution, delivery and maintenance approach than on lowest price alone.

This opportunity suits suppliers that can take responsibility for an audio-visual system from supply through installation and maintenance. Relevant businesses are likely to include audio-visual integrators, equipment and systems suppliers, installation contractors with audio-visual expertise, and maintenance providers able to support the installed solution throughout the contract. The requirement also has a clear software and information-systems element, so firms able to configure or integrate the technology may be well placed. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it accessible to organisations with the required technical delivery capability without needing to be a large national contractor.
