The requirement covers the supply and use of audio-visual equipment and materials, together with repair, maintenance and associated support for audio-visual and audio equipment (CPV 32320000). The college is the buying organisation, with SSC Partnership acting as its procurement agent. The work is centred on St Edmund’s College, Mount Pleasant, Cambridge CB3 0BN. The procurement is for services rather than construction works or general equipment supply alone, so it is relevant to audio-visual integrators, equipment suppliers and specialist maintenance providers able to support an institutional site. Suppliers may form a consortium to bid. The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids must include both the Procurement Specific Questionnaire and the completed invitation-to-tender response, submitted electronically through the In-Tend portal. The submission deadline set in the tender description is 28 September 2026 at 12 noon. A site visit is planned for 11 September 2026 at St Edmund’s College; attendance is optional. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with an option to extend by up to 24 months, giving a maximum end date of 31 October 2031. The published estimated value is £0 gross, with the lot recorded as AED 0 gross. Award will be based on the most advantageous tender using the detailed criteria in the tender documents. This opportunity suits businesses that can provide complete audio-visual support for a college environment: supplying or integrating audio-visual equipment, providing audio-visual materials, and carrying out ongoing repair, maintenance and associated support. It may also suit consortium bids where different suppliers combine equipment, installation, service and maintenance capability. The requirement is likely to favour providers with practical experience managing audio and visual systems across an institutional site, diagnosing faults, maintaining equipment and supporting the facilities throughout a multi-year contract. Suppliers should be able to understand an existing site layout and translate that into a workable service response; an optional visit is available for this purpose. Bidders must complete the required questionnaire and invitation-to-tender response in full, and comply with the detailed deliverables and evaluation requirements in the tender documents. ## Notice SSC Partnership (the Agent) on behalf of St Edmunds College, University of Cambridge are currently out to tender for the provision of Audio Visual Services.
