What the notice says

We are looking to engage with suppliers of public address and voice alarm systems to help inform how we procure a replacement to our existing system at V&A South Kensington which has been in place since 2008 and is nearing end of life. We want to hear from OEMs of these systems, as well as those that install and maintain them. We are inviting potential suppliers to tell us their views by completing a short survey. The purpose of this survey is to support our understanding of current market capability, supplier availability and potential delivery approaches, and to obtain insight into how identified project risks may be mitigated should we go out to tender. Please use the below link to respond to the survey: https://forms.office.com/e/yZ9LTCqcMV

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
