## Summary

The Liverpool City Council has completed a direct award procurement process for PA services, specifically public address systems, for the Liverpool Parade 2025, under the classification 'Public address systems' (CPV code 48952000). Adlib Solutions, a large-scale enterprise, has been awarded the contract, which spans from 11th April 2025 to 28th May 2025. The procurement was conducted for services within the North West region of the United Kingdom and bears a total value of £15,000. The procurement reached the award stage, with the contract formally announced on 20th May 2025 following an award notice dated 10th April 2025. The procurement method was 'direct', simplifying the contracting process for the buyer.

This direct award for PA systems at a major public event like the Liverpool Parade presents opportunities particularly for businesses specialising in sound systems or event services, although this specific tender favoured an established large business like Adlib Solutions. The suitability criterion for the tender mentioned a preference for SMEs, potentially making such future contracts viable opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises offering similar services. Being involved in high-profile public events can bolster a company's portfolio and provide exposure to new public sector clients, which could be instrumental in driving business growth and opening up additional contracting opportunities.
