## Summary

Newport City Council has concluded a public procurement contract to install modern media, music, and bespoke lighting systems at Gwent Crematorium. The contract falls under the services category, specifically involving installation services of radio, television, sound, and video equipment. This procurement, following Welsh devolved regulations, was completed using a direct approach, as it was below the competition threshold. The project, valued at £100,472.40 (gross), is planned to commence on 9th June 2026 and will end on 31st December 2031. The contracting authority, Newport City Council headquartered at Civic Centre, Newport, undertook this tender to enhance service quality for bereaved families, reflecting evolving expectations for personal and cultural appropriateness during funeral services.

This tender represents a growth opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), emphasised by the selection of Vivedia, a Sheffield-based SME, as the supplier. Companies specialising in audio-visual technology and installation services might find similar future tenders appealing, especially those able to deliver cutting-edge, personalised AV solutions that align with Newport City Council's commitment to dignified and meaningful experiences in community services. Additionally, businesses can leverage such contracts to showcase their capability to enhance customer experiences in sensitive community service environments, potentially acting as a gateway to further public sector opportunities.

## Notice
