This procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with bids due by 12:00 noon on 21 April 2021. The contract, valued between £8,000,000 to £14,000,000, will require service providers to design and install broadcast systems at various historical locations within the Parliamentary Estate in London, particularly the Grade I listed Palace of Westminster. Interested bidders should prepare for the contract period running from 18 May 2021 to 18 March 2025, with submissions to be made via the UK Parliament’s e-procurement portal. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in the design and installation of broadcast facilities, particularly those experienced in working within occupied historic buildings. Companies with expertise in television and sound equipment installation are encouraged to participate, especially SMEs looking to expand their client base in the public sector. With a maximum of six contractors to be appointed, successful bidders will gain access to ongoing projects involving prestigious institutions, enhancing their portfolio and visibility in the industry. ## Notice The Broadcasting Unit at the Houses of Parliament in Westminster is responsible for recording and streaming high quality pictures and sound of all proceedings taking place on the Parliamentary Estate, whether from within the House of Commons Chamber, the House of Lords Chamber, Westminster Hall, Lords Grand Committee or any of the many Committee Rooms, together with facilitating and broadcasting proceedings that include contributions from participants in remote locations. The Houses of Parliament intend to appoint a maximum of 6 companies with a proven capability in design and installation of broadcast facilities including within occupied historic listed buildings to a framework agreement for Broadcast Design and Installation Work. The design function will involve using a written specification (provided by the Houses of Parliament) to produce detailed schematics, wiring schedules and physical layouts for broadcast quality video and audio systems.
