## Summary

Leeds Beckett University Enterprises Limited is buying audio-visual equipment supply and maintenance for the university’s teaching and meeting spaces, from large lecture rooms to small tutorial rooms. Its IT Services team designs and maintains AV installations across these spaces. The requirement covers an existing equipment and support contract being replaced, with the new arrangement intended to reflect technology changes and include additional design and support services. The equipment category includes television and audio-visual equipment (CPV 32320000). Delivery is in Leeds, England. This is a single-lot requirement for the university, spanning equipment supply, maintenance and AV-related design and support rather than a purchase of equipment alone.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Universal AV Services Ltd on 19 October 2026. The award value is £2 million excluding VAT (£2.4 million including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with two 12-month extension options that could extend it to 31 October 2031. The university used a below-threshold limited competition. The published bid statistics record 10 bids at the final stage, including seven from small and medium-sized enterprises. The opportunity was organised as one lot. The award is active; a contract signature milestone was scheduled for 31 October 2026.

For suppliers preparing for a future requirement from this buyer, the winning profile is an AV provider able to combine equipment supply and ongoing maintenance with design and support services. The work spans both large lecture rooms and small tutorial and meeting spaces, so credible delivery calls for the capacity to support varied teaching and meeting environments across a university estate, rather than supplying isolated equipment only. The buyer specifically wants a commercial partner whose services account for changes in AV technology and extend beyond its existing installation design and maintenance work. A small or medium-sized supplier can compete: seven of the 10 final-stage bids were from SMEs. The scale and duration of the awarded arrangement indicate a sustained, university-wide service relationship involving equipment and technical support.

## Notice

We have a wide range of meeting rooms and teaching spaces, from large lecture rooms to small tutorial spaces, and we, as the university IT Services team, currently design and maintain the AV installations in all of these. The University currently has an audio-visual equipment and support contract in place which is due to expire and is therefore being re-procured, and we are looking to re-tender this contract. The new tender will reflect the changes in technology since the original tender, and a desire for the commercial partner to offer additional design and support services.
