This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde has completed a contract under an award procedure without prior publication for the supply, delivery, and installation of audio-visual equipment and associated services. This procurement, with contract signing taking place on 28th August 2025, falls under the education industry category and is located in Glasgow, UK. As a limited procurement method from a collaborative framework, the process bypassed a competitive call and directly awarded the contract to GVAV Ltd Head Office, an SME based in Dundee, UK. The procurement relates to goods, specifically LED video walls and related networking and control equipment, aimed at supporting the Continuous Manufacturing and Crystallisation (CMAC) Centre at the university.

This tender presents opportunities for similar businesses to identify future openings under the APUC's Framework Agreement for the supply and installation of audio-visual equipment. Companies specialising in cutting-edge audio-visual technology, especially those focused on educational and research settings, would find this sector advantageous for business growth and collaboration. The procurement of complex equipment, such as video walls and networking devices, suggests potential opportunities for innovation and service optimisation for entities capable of providing bespoke solutions in the audio-visual domain. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those with expertise in educational infrastructure, could benefit from engaging with similar contracts or frameworks to enhance their market profile and develop long-term client relationships with institutions like the University of Strathclyde.
