UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice bought audio-visual services to support public hearings and related events in custodial settings. The work covers live streaming and recording, audio-visual equipment, technical support and associated operational services. It falls within video and motion-picture services. The named buyer is the Ministry of Justice. The service is for events held in custodial settings; no specific delivery locations are identified in the procurement details.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Radio Technical Services Ltd, trading as RTS Communications. The Ministry of Justice used a direct award below the threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and runs from that date to 21 March 2028. Its value is £110,000 excluding VAT (£132,000 including VAT). The award covers one lot, comprising the audio-visual service requirement. No evaluation criteria are recorded; the process was conducted without competition.

For suppliers seeking to compete for a similar Ministry of Justice requirement, the awarded scope shows a need to deliver reliable audio-visual operations in custodial settings, including live streaming, recording, equipment provision and hands-on technical support for hearings and related events. Credible providers would need the equipment, technical expertise and operational capacity to support public proceedings in a secure environment, with dependable service across event delivery. Experience managing audio-visual services for hearings or other formal events would be relevant to demonstrating capability. This award was made directly without competition, so it does not provide evidence of competitive evaluation criteria or supplier qualifications. The chosen provider was an SME, showing that a smaller specialist supplier delivered the requirement.
