UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council is seeking a supplier to provide, install and maintain an audio-visual system. This is a goods requirement covering the associated software packages and information systems. The work is for the council and is to be delivered in the Middlesbrough area. The requirement is arranged as a single package, covering the complete audio-visual system rather than separate specialist lots. The supplier will be responsible for the supply, physical fitting and ongoing maintenance of the system, so the opportunity is relevant to businesses able to provide an integrated solution and support it after installation. It may suit commercial audio-visual integrators, systems suppliers, installation contractors and maintenance providers with the ability to deliver the equipment and associated software as one service.

The process reached tender: Middlesbrough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids were to be submitted electronically through open-uk.org by 30 September 2026 at 23:59. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The estimated value is £143,269 excluding VAT, or £179,086 including VAT. There is one package. Offers are evaluated primarily on quality, worth 80%, with price worth 20%, so the technical solution, installation approach and maintenance arrangements carry substantially more weight than cost. The tender was amended to correct the submission website address to www.open-uk.org. The opportunity is identified as LGS-Q-004-2026.

This opportunity suits suppliers that can deliver an end-to-end audio-visual system rather than only sell equipment. Relevant capability includes selecting and supplying compatible audio-visual hardware and software, integrating the components into a working system, installing and commissioning it on site, and providing maintenance and technical support throughout the contract period. Businesses should be able to demonstrate reliable delivery, competent installation staff and the capacity to respond to faults or planned maintenance needs. Because quality accounts for 80% of the evaluation, suppliers with a strong technical solution and clear service arrangements are well placed to compete. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
