## Summary

The University of East Anglia (UEA), a public authority sub-central government body, recently completed a procurement process for their "Graduation 2026" event. The procurement, carried out under the legal basis of the UKPGA 2023/54, involved direct awarding to Pylon One Limited, a company recognised for their expertise in event data systems, network, communications, and CCTV services. This contract involves services within the UKH15 region, specifically in Norwich, United Kingdom. The procurement method employed was below threshold and without competition, with the tender finalised and contract awarded on 18th May 2026. The contract commenced on 7th July 2026 and is set to conclude on 21st July 2026, with an overall value of £73,765.20.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in event services, including video surveillance systems, network infrastructure, telecommunications equipment, and security systems. Companies like Pylon One Limited, classified as an SME, prove that there is substantial scope for small to medium-sized enterprises to engage in government contracts, potentially spurring growth and opening up avenues in the public events sector. Businesses with strong capabilities in these areas, particularly those that can provide comprehensive solutions for large-scale events, are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders, enhancing their portfolio and establishing a foothold within public sector procurement channels.
