## Summary

The procurement process for the "AV Refresh" project, initiated by Birmingham City University, focuses on modernising and rationalising the university's audio-visual equipment. This project falls under the industry category of television and audio-visual equipment (CPV code: 32320000), with a total contract value of £370,945. The procurement process is now in the award stage, having officially concluded on 1st December 2016. The contract period extends from 1st August 2016 to 1st December 2016, and delivery addresses are situated in the West Midlands, England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in providing audio-visual equipment and services. Companies capable of modernising AV systems, ensuring inter-room consistency, and facilitating innovative academic delivery methods will be well-positioned to compete. Given the scale of the contract, larger enterprises or established suppliers with relevant experience, such as CDEC Limited, may find this an advantageous venture for business growth and visibility within the education sector.

## Notice

The current Audio Visual (AV) estate at Birmingham City University (BCU) has been reviewed and certain equipment has been identified as having reached the end of its hardware lifecycle and is in need of replacement. The objective of the AV Refresh project is to not only modernise but also to rationalise the University's diverse AV estate in order to ensure that the end-user experience is more consistent between rooms and campuses. The procurement will provide the opportunity to facilitate new methods of academic delivery and where possible some rooms may be re-orientated to accommodate those visions. It is anticipated that this will also increase staff productivity and improve the student experience.
