## Summary

St Helens Council procured installation services for a replacement conference system in its Council Chamber and Room 10. The system is intended to support webcasting of Council, Cabinet and Committee meetings, enabling the council to continue facilitating those meetings online. The work covers the replacement system for both rooms, rather than a general audiovisual upgrade across council buildings. The procurement category is installation of sound and video equipment (CPV 51310000). Delivery is in St Helens. The selected supplier is Insight Direct (UK) Ltd.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd. The contract was signed on 31 May 2026, with a contract period from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2030. Its value is £162,093.12. St Helens Council used a limited procedure: a mini-competition through the Health Trust Europe ICT Solutions 2023 (Complete IT 3) framework, without a separately published call for competition. Two bids were recorded. The award criterion was price. The process was divided into one lot, covering the replacement conference system for the Council Chamber and Room 10; that lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

For suppliers of conference and audiovisual systems, this award demonstrates demand from St Helens Council for equipment installation supporting webcasts of formal council meetings. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply and install a replacement conference system across both a council chamber and a meeting room, with the capability to support webcasting of Council, Cabinet and Committee meetings. The route used was a mini-competition through the Health Trust Europe ICT Solutions 2023 framework, so framework access and the ability to compete through that route would be commercially relevant. Price was the stated award criterion, and two bids were recorded. This points to the importance of competitive pricing alongside relevant installation capability; the published information does not establish further technical or accreditation requirements.
