## Summary

Somerset County Council is currently conducting a tender for the "Provision of Webcasting" services, aimed at enhancing public access to council meetings held at their headquarters in Taunton, England. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically within the video-conferencing equipment and software segments. The tender period is open until 15th April 2021, with an estimated contract value of £150,000. The contract is expected to commence on 1st July 2021 and run through to 30th June 2024, supporting the transition to remote participation due to potential social distancing measures.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in video-conferencing solutions and related technologies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to grow their market presence in the public sector. Companies with expertise in providing webcasting services and software packages will find this an ideal opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities and secure a contract with a local authority that seeks to improve public engagement and transparency through digital innovation.

## Notice

Somerset County Council host many council committee meetings each year from their headquarters building at County Hall, Taunton, TA1 4DY. Due to the capacity of the meeting rooms, committee rooms and nearby council chambers, members of the public have had to be turned away when these rooms are full. In order to allow members of the public to view these meetings, the members would like to stream the meeting to the internet for public viewing. This is even more important if Covid restrictions mean council members cannot attend due to social distancing guidelines. As some attendees will not be able to attend in person, a solution for joining at home is essential. Additional information: For further information and access to the tender documentation, please visit the ProContract e-tendering portal to find the opportunity.
