LCRCA Authority Chamber Audio Visual and Webcasting Refresh
Authority: Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionLiverpool City Region Combined Authority is embarking on a refresh of the Authority Chamber Audio-Visual Equipment.
The current solution was installed initially in 2018 and then further refreshed in 2022. We require a complete review and overhaul of the existing suite of equipment to provide a more modern and flexible solution, that will meet the organisation's requirements going forwards.
Consideration should be given to making the solution user friendly and robust, whilst consolidating / integrating any components where possible.

How Liverpool City Region Combined Authority buys Television and audio-visual equipment (CPV 3232) — and who usually turns up
Liverpool City Region Combined Authority’s own published record, next to the North West England market for the same work. Frameworks and DPS are kept out: they attract a different number of bids. Whole-market view: Television and audio-visual equipment (CPV 3232) →
How the contest usually goes
Left: this authority. Right: the market where the work is delivered. Bids and award-vs-estimate pairs are per lot, from contested contracts only — direct awards (including PA 2023 transparency notices) report one bid by definition and are left out. On Procurement Act 2023 notices the count is the tenders assessed at the final stage, not every submission received; pairs compare like with like (VAT-exclusive, or VAT-inclusive on both sides). Empty means nothing was published, not filled in from elsewhere.

Coverage and what to read with care
- Each tile explains itself. The on a figure says what it is, how it is counted and which scope this notice’s own record came from (class, division, all categories, or the authority’s 24-month row). The two columns are never blended and nothing is filled from a UK-wide figure; an empty tile means the source published nothing usable. Long form: Methodology.
- Coverage. Roughly 40 % of notices publish a bid count; about half publish an ITL1 delivery location, so the market column reads the authority’s registered region when the notice has none (labelled). About 30 % of award-vs-estimate pairs are exact matches — the buyer published the award at the estimate. n is on every figure; a thin sample is muted, never hidden.
- “Match” and “relevance” are model scores from the nightly matcher, not published facts. Find a Tender does not publish who is bidding. Never shown: contact details, payment behaviour, or a recommended price.
