Originally classified under the installation services of communications equipment, this tender aimed to provide comprehensive audio-visual and web streaming services for public inquiries across multiple locations, including Bradford Court and the Corn Exchange in Belfast. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, with a planned contract duration of five years, including options for extensions. Despite an initial tender status of active, legal challenges led to the cancellation of the award decision, as confirmed on the 18th of August, 2025. This tender presented significant opportunities for businesses specialising in AV equipment supply, installation, and maintenance. Firms with a focus on broadcasting, video-conferencing, and AV services could have benefitted from the demand generated by multiple inquiry locations. The sizeable contract value estimated up to £3 million underscored the potential scope for business growth within the sector. Although the procurement was not successfully executed, similar future opportunities may greatly benefit companies with robust tendering capabilities and experience with public sector contracts. The Executive Office reserved the right to modify the procurement process, indicating a flexible and adaptable approach potentially favourable for well-prepared and versatile suppliers. ## Notice The Executive Office on behalf of themselves and the Northern Ireland Civil Service and the Northern Ireland Office have a requirement for the electronic presentation of evidence, audio visual and web streaming fully managed services to support multiple concurrent inquiries.
