## Summary

ACC Liverpool Group, now known as Liverpool Experience Campus Ltd, has successfully concluded the procurement process for the Audio Visual Equipment Hire Framework. This contract covers the supply of video, audio, and lighting equipment for events hosted at its venues. Awarded to suppliers via an open procedure, the framework will run from 1st April 2026 until 31st March 2029, with a potential extension to 31st March 2030. The contract is divided into three LOTs for video, audio, and lighting, and involves a competitive mini competition for each event. Notably, the procurement has awarded contracts to a maximum of five suppliers per LOT across regions UKD72 in Liverpool and UKD33 in Manchester. The total gross contract value across all LOTs is indicative of the financial forecast for 2024-25, amounting to GBP 1.6 million.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in audiovisual equipment and event management, particularly those classified as SMEs. Suppliers such as Adlib Audio Ltd, A to V ltd, and MSP Global Trading Ltd, among others, have been engaged, highlighting the potential competitive advantage for similar enterprises in the sector. SMEs with expertise in video production, audio systems, and lighting solutions are well-suited to participate, given the framework’s method of reopening competition and evaluating bids based on price and equipment availability.
