## Summary

The Amber Valley Borough Council is currently inviting expressions of interest for the "Council Chamber Audio Visual Upgrade" project, which falls within the communications and IT services industry. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 15 November 2019. This initiative is based in Ripley, East Midlands, and aims for a contract value between £30,000 and £50,000. Interested parties should direct their expressions of interest to Simon Gladwin via email at simon.gladwin@ambervalley.gov.uk.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in audio-visual systems, IT services, and related equipment, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises. Companies with the expertise to supply and integrate advanced microphone systems, along with support for existing hardware like hearing loops, would find a suitable match here. The project not only enhances council facilities but also allows participants to showcase their capabilities, potentially leading to future contracts as technology upgrades become necessary.

## Notice

Amber Valley Borough Council is seeking Expressions of Interest from suitably experienced companies wishing to provide a quotation to undertake the first stage of an audio-visual upgrade of its Council Chamber. In the first stage the successful company will be required to provide and install linked wireless microphone units that must be capable of integrating into Council meetings and providing the Chairperson or Democratic Services Officer to effectively control meetings, via a press to queue system and by control over which microphones are live, with integrated screens to assist delegate participation. The system must be capable of integrating with the Council's existing hearing loop system and include a small number of standalone microphones to enable public speaking where appropriate. The delegate microphones must also be capable of delegate recognition via RFID or similar. The system must also be capable of being easily upgraded in future to enable the introduction of electronic voting, through either licencing or a software upgrade, as well as automatically panning cameras. Expressions of interest should be registered with: simon.gladwin@ambervalley.gov.uk
