Summary of the contracting process

The City of Liverpool College is buying multimedia equipment and related resources for its T Level Media provision. The equipment will support students’ learning and help them develop the skills and experience needed for careers in the media industry. This is a goods contract covering multimedia equipment, classified under CPV 32322000. Delivery is to Liverpool, at the college’s Learning Exchange location. The requirement is presented as a single procurement covering the full equipment package. It should suit suppliers that provide professional or educational media technology and can supply equipment appropriate for practical student learning. The college is the buying organisation and will use the equipment within its media education provision.

The procurement reached tender: the college invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bidders could submit offers electronically through the college’s e-tendering portal. Enquiries had to be submitted by 21 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers had to be submitted by 23 September 2026 at 14:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 7 October 2026 to 1 November 2026. Its estimated value is £120,833.33 excluding VAT, or £145,000 including VAT. There is one lot, and the lot is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Offers are evaluated on price at 55%, quality at 35%, environmental, corporate responsibility and sustainability at 5%, and added value at 5%.

This opportunity suits suppliers with the product range, technical knowledge and fulfilment capacity to provide multimedia equipment for a college media programme. Businesses should be able to understand an education-focused requirement and supply resources that support practical learning and the development of industry-relevant skills. Strong product quality and a clear approach to meeting the specification will matter because quality carries substantial weight in evaluation. Suppliers should also be ready to explain their environmental, corporate responsibility and sustainability credentials, alongside any added value they can offer the college. The procurement is identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist media-equipment businesses may be well placed to compete, either independently or through an appropriate delivery partnership.
