## Summary

North Yorkshire Council procured a digital signage upgrade for HCC as the first part of a wider modernisation project. The requirement covers projection screens and a content management system for centrally managing signage content. The stated purpose is to improve the experience of delegates and organisers and reduce the inefficiency of manually loading content onto each device. This is a goods-led audiovisual and digital signage requirement, with associated system configuration and content-management capability. The procurement was for the council’s HCC facilities, with delivery in the United Kingdom. Businesses relevant to this requirement include audiovisual equipment suppliers, digital signage integrators, projection-screen specialists and providers of centralised signage management systems.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was structured as one completed lot. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and is active from 30 July 2026 to 31 October 2026. The award went to Universal A.V. Services Limited, an SME. The contract value is £29,319 excluding VAT and £35,182.80 including VAT. The awarded requirement is classified as projection screens. North Yorkshire Council evaluated the limited competition under the procurement route used for below-threshold contracts. The selected supplier is responsible for the digital signage upgrade described for HCC, including the projection-screen element and central content management system.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for public-sector audiovisual modernisation combining physical display equipment with centralised digital signage management. A credible competitor for similar work would need to supply and integrate projection screens, configure or support a content management system, and understand how signage content is distributed across multiple devices. Experience improving reliability and reducing manual content loading would be directly relevant, as would the ability to work around the needs of delegates and event organisers in council facilities. The award to an SME indicates that the requirement was deliverable by a smaller specialist audiovisual business. Suppliers with practical installation, systems-integration and ongoing user-support capability would be well placed when North Yorkshire Council next assesses comparable signage needs.
