This initiative falls within the public sector's office and computing machinery industry category. Interested parties must engage by submitting their responses to a market engagement notice by 25th October 2018. Located in Bristol, South West England, this procurement is currently at the planning stage, with all correspondence directed to Su Matthews at the Council. This opportunity presents a viable growth avenue for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in audio and visual technology. Suppliers who can deliver innovative solutions in communication and telecommunication equipment, as well as IT services, would be particularly well-suited to participate in this market engagement process, which aims to review and enhance the current systems in place for the Coroner's Services. ## Notice Market Engagement Event for:- Audio/Visual Equipment for use in Coroner's Court (Please Note:- This is a market engagement exercise and not a tender exercise). About Bristol City Council Bristol is a thriving city in the South West of England with a population of over 437,500. Bristol City Council is a unitary authority with an elected Mayor and is the seventh largest English City outside London. It is a rapidly growing city, with a young and diverse population, a successful economy and a commitment to protecting the environment. Bristol City Council provides a wide range of services, from schools, libraries and leisure centres to housing and refuse collection. Whether you call it commissioning, procurement, purchasing, contracting, tendering or buying we spend over PS360 million a year on obtaining a vast range of supplies, services and works from the external market. We currently have Audio/Visual equipment for use in our Coroner's Court to meet our responsibilities set out in the Ministry of Justice - Guide to Coroner Services, specifically Section 8.8 that advises:- 8.8 Must a witness attend the inquest? If the witness lives in England or Wales they must attend if they are asked to. In many cases the evidence of a witness may be vital in establishing the facts of the death. A witness may either be asked to attend the inquest voluntarily or receive a formal summons to do so. It is an offence not to attend and the coroner can impose a fine or prison sentence. In exceptional circumstances the coroner may allow someone to give evidence from behind a screen, or by video link, if he or she decides that it would improve evidence, allow the inquest to go ahead more quickly or would protect a particularly vulnerable witness who may be at risk of harm from others. If the witness lives abroad he or she does not have to attend to give evidence. However, the coroner may decide to accept written evidence from the witness. Bristol City Council would like to undertake a review of our current Audio/Visual equipment on behalf of the Coroner's Services and ask that in the first instance interested suppliers submit via email to Susan.Matthews@bristol.gov.uk a written response to each of the points included in the attached document Additional information: Please note that ALL correspondence regarding this market engagement exercise MUST be directed to Su Matthews via email at Susan.Matthews@bristol.gov.uk - Interested Parties MUST NOT contact the Coroners Services directly. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7fd3855a-6208-4c1a-ac06-5b655eb4ece3 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Oct 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 25 Oct 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRISTOL CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS1 5TR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK51 Bristol, City of | | Local authority | Bristol, City of | | Electoral ward | Hotwells and Harbourside | | Westminster constituency | Bristol Central | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 48 - Software package and information systems - 64 - Postal and telecommunications services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 30000000 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages - 32000000 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 64000000 - Postal and telecommunications services - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 17 Oct 2018 at 08:06 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7fd3855a-6208-4c1a-ac06-5b655eb4ece3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7fd3855a-6208-4c1a-ac06-5b655eb4ece3 17th October 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/66325f4e-c6f8-4608-ba95-0d356409b33b Market Engagement for AV Equipment for Coroners Court ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
