Summary of the contracting process

Shetland Islands Council has concluded an award contract for "Webcasting & Audio Visual (AV) Maintenance" services, situated in Lerwick, Shetland, within the UKM66 region. The procurement process falls under the industry category of general public services. The process was completed without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the proprietary nature of the existing system and the potential additional costs of sourcing alternative solutions. The contract was signed on 19 February 2026 for an amount of £77,679, underlining the completion of the procurement stage. Shetland Islands Council serves as the buying organisation, with Public-i designated as the supplier for this contract.

This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in webcasting and AV maintenance services, particularly those with expertise in bespoke hardware and software solutions. Companies equipped to manage and support existing proprietary systems will find this contract particularly relevant. Due to the limited procurement method employed, there was no competitive bidding, which highlights the importance of possessing well-aligned capabilities to match specific requirements that entail repeated service provisions. SMEs with a focus on technology consulting and support, especially those familiar with public sector contracts, may find this sector appealing for future procurement engagement and potential expansion within regional and local authority services.
