Summary of the contracting process

Dumfries and Galloway Council is procuring a single supplier for livestreaming and audiovisual services, primarily for Council and committee meetings. The work supports public access and accessibility by broadcasting hybrid meetings, where attendees can participate in person or through Microsoft Teams. Meetings are livestreamed on the Council’s YouTube channel, and the successful supplier must attend them in person. The service covers Dumfries and Galloway. This is a public-sector meeting broadcast and event audiovisual requirement, including livestream production, audio and visual support, meeting connectivity and distribution of broadcasts online. It is classified under CPV 50340000, relating to repair and maintenance services of audiovisual and optical equipment, with additional classifications covering computer, television, video, audio and broadcasting equipment.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission in English. The tender deadline and bid opening were set for 7 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The estimated procurement value is £376,000. The contract period is 1,080 days, with an option for one 12-month extension at the Council’s discretion. There is one lot and one supplier is sought. Bids must remain valid for 120 days, and variants are not allowed. Evaluation is based on service delivery quality at 60% and price at 40%. Electronic payment and ordering apply, electronic invoicing is allowed, and community benefits form part of the requirement. Performance is governed by the specification.

This opportunity suits an audiovisual production, livestreaming or outside-broadcast supplier able to provide reliable meeting coverage in person across Dumfries and Galloway. Relevant capability includes capturing clear speech and video, managing hybrid participation through Microsoft Teams, operating livestreams to YouTube and supporting public-facing council or committee events. Suppliers need the capacity to provide consistent attendance and service delivery over a substantial multi-year requirement, rather than occasional event support. The buyer requires staff names and qualifications with bids, so bidders should be able to identify suitably qualified personnel and demonstrate how their team will deliver the service. Businesses with experience in public meetings, accessible online broadcasting, live production, audio visual systems and stakeholder-facing communications are likely to be well placed. Community-benefit commitments are also part of the requirement.
