Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh has completed the procurement process for the provision of accessibility audio-visual equipment specifically for the Lister LTC Teaching Desks at George Square. The contract, titled "AV3135 - Lister LTC Teaching Desks", falls under the education industry category, with the procurement primarily aimed at acquiring goods. This open procurement procedure has been executed using a direct award via the AV1018 AP framework. Key completion dates include the contract signing on 3rd March 2026, and the procurement process is now in the award stage. The successful supplier, Pure Audio Visual, will deliver and install the equipment at the specified location in Edinburgh.

This procurement presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in audio-visual equipment supply and installation. With a contract value of £91,402.32, larger firms, like Pure Audio Visual, have showcased their capability to secure such contracts, although the process did involve interest from smaller and international businesses as well. Companies specialising in educational and AV technology solutions would be well-positioned to pursue similar opportunities, given the complexity and specialised nature of the equipment and services required by educational institutions such as the University of Edinburgh.
