## Summary

Southend-on-Sea City Council has awarded a contract for the continued provision of web casting services via the Braintree District Council EPHF001 Webcasting framework. This service will be supplied by Public-i Group Ltd and involves using the existing web casting equipment installed in the Council Chamber, which allows broadcasting of council meetings and integration with Civica Modern.gov for document delivery. The contract spans from 20th June 2025 to 19th June 2028. This call-off contract from a framework agreement follows a selective procurement method, with the awarded contract valued at £67,086. The contract is classified under the CPV codes relating to web camera, video-conferencing equipment, software package, and teleconferencing services, serving a location with postal code SS2 6ER.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for businesses specialising in web casting services, video conferencing solutions, or the supply of teleconferencing technology. Although the procurement favours established framework suppliers, companies experienced in these areas may find opportunities for future engagement, particularly if the local government reorganisation leads to revised web casting needs. Larger enterprises with capabilities to provide comprehensive solutions to local governmental organisations, like replacing or leasing video conferencing infrastructure, could be particularly well-suited in pursuing similar future contracts. However, this procurement may not be directly suitable for SMEs or VCSEs due to its scale and existing framework agreement context.

## Notice

Southend-on-Sea City Council is looking for continued provision of Web Casting services using the current equipment installed by Public-I Group Limited. The contract will include the provision of web casting in the Council Chamber of council meetings, links to the Civica Modern.gov system for the delivery of meeting papers for councillors and the public. The equipment for the Council Chamber is leased from Public-I and this contract includes the replacement of equipment as nears end of life. Southend-on-Sea City Council has investigated the possibility of going out to the market with the potential of a new provider reviewing the web casting needs and potentially installing new equipment, however the Local Government Reorganisation introduces a possibility that a new Mayoral Combined Council (MCC) may host its Full Council meetings outside of Southend. It was decided that it not be economically advantageous for Southend-on-Sea City Council to undertake a procurement exercise to replace all the web casting equipment in the Council Chamber and Committee Rooms, if the new system would not be used. If the new MCC is established, all contracts will be reviewed. If the new MCC decides that this contract should be procured early, then a compliant procurement process will be undertaken.
