## Summary

The public procurement process involves an Invitation to Tender (ITT) issued by WEBB ELLIS ESTATES LTD for the installation of high-tech audio-visual (AV) equipment at Bodmin Jail, a historic tourist attraction located in Bodmin, England. This procurement falls under the category of Audio-Visual Equipment and is classified as an open procedure below the threshold, allowing for competitive submissions. Interested businesses can submit their tenders until 25 April 2018, with the contract expected to commence from 1 June 2018 and last until 27 September 2018.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in AV technology, installation, and design services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate in this open procurement process. Companies capable of providing innovative and engaging AV solutions will be well-suited to enhance the visitor experience at Bodmin Jail, reflecting its rich historical significance while supporting the attraction's educational goals.

## Notice

Bodmin Jail is a large, unique, tourist attraction offering daily visitor experiences. This fascinating building, steeped in both social and architectural history, offers guests an amazing insight into Cornish penal life over the centuries. Visit the cold dank cells, look up at the thin rays of light filtering through a small barred window and imagine being sentenced to even a week in such desolation, a very lonely life with the knowledge each day would bring more of the same cold, hunger and hard labour on the treadmill as a civil prisoner, or "cannon ball" catch for naval prisoners; designed to keep you fit for battle on your release. See the only working execution pit in the UK. Discovered during renovation works in 2005, the pit has now been restored to its' full working order, with the able assistance of Gary Ewart, one of the UK's leading authorities on hanging. We plan to recreate Bodmin's assizes court within the main attraction. This ITT is to assist with the installation of high tech AV equipment which will enhance the visitor experience and educational outings. The purchase of this is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project as a whole. We will compare tenders received on a compliance basis only.
