## Summary

The University of Gloucestershire procured the supply of audio-visual equipment for compatibility with equipment already installed across its university campuses in Cheltenham and Gloucester. The requirement covers audio-visual equipment supplied through the NHS Shared Business Services Audio Visual Solutions and Integrated Operating Theatres 2 framework agreement. It is a goods contract for university facilities, with the equipment expected to integrate with the existing estate rather than being supplied as an isolated installation. The buyer is the University of Gloucestershire, an education provider. The scope is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors, systems integrators and specialist audio-visual suppliers able to provide equipment that works with established university systems and infrastructure.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The University of Gloucestershire used a limited procedure: a direct award under the NHS Shared Business Services framework, without a separate call for competition. The award went to GVAV Ltd, an SME. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and is valued at £1,050,000. The stated call-off period is three years, with an option described in the requirement to extend for up to a further 24 months. The available award criterion was price. One bid was recorded. The procurement was described as a direct award because the framework had already been established through competition and permits call-offs to appointed suppliers.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from the University of Gloucestershire for substantial audio-visual equipment compatible with systems already installed across its Cheltenham and Gloucester campuses. Suppliers seeking comparable future work with this buyer would need a dependable equipment supply capability, strong product and systems-integration knowledge, and the ability to ensure interoperability with an existing university estate. Experience of delivering audio-visual solutions in multi-site educational environments would help demonstrate credibility, particularly where equipment must be standardised and integrated across campuses. Access to, and appointment on, the relevant NHS Shared Business Services framework was central to the route used here. The recorded award also shows that an SME supplier can meet this requirement at significant scale.
