The SPCB would like to set up a framework with a maximum of 4 Contractors to provide broadcasting systems design, installation and integration services along with equipment supply and maintenance of broadcast facilities and equipment.

Call-Off Contracts or projects under the framework will vary in scale and scope, ranging from a supply and install of new equipment to large infrastructure projects taking several months.

The Contractor must work in collaboration with the SPCB Broadcasting Office and provide advice and solutions on new technology entering the market and assist the Broadcasting Office in any new ways of working.

The SPCB would like to appoint 4 Contractors who can provide all of the following Services:

- Broadcast Systems Integration, including supply of equipment, to support the Broadcasting Office services including, but not limited to:

*Providing equipment to Call-Off Contract specification.

*Ensuring any new system integrates to existing SPCB systems as per specification.

- Broadcast engineering design services including, but not limited to:

*Creating system drawings and layouts.

*Creating cable schedules and other installation documentation.

- Installation and/or maintenance of broadcast equipment and systems including, but not limited to:

*Providing Contractor Personnel to install and commission new equipment.

*Providing support contracts either directly or via third parties to support existing systems.

- Training of SPCB Broadcasting staff including, but not limited to:

*Training on equipment operation

*Training on maintenance and first level system support

- Advice on new solutions and technology entering the broadcasting market including, but not limited to:

*Understanding existing SPCB systems and workflows and advising on new ways of working.

*Introducing the SPCB to new suppliers and manufacturers.

- Throughout the framework period, the SPCB intends to run mini-competitions to award specific Call-Off Contracts which will be open to all Framework Contractors. The Contractor will be asked to submit proposals including costs for specific work against a technical specification. The SPCB does not offer any guarantee as to the number or value of Call-Off Contracts which will be placed. The Contractor may decline to bid if the work is not of interest to them.

- Mini-competitions may be run for any Call-Off Contract requirement, regardless of value.

- The SPCB may also direct award Call-Off Contracts without competition only in cases where the value of the project is below 20,000 GBP. In this instance the SPCB shall directly award a Call-Off Contract to the highest ranked Contractor on the Framework following tender evaluation. Should the highest ranked Contractor not be able to meet the requirement then the SPCB may approach the second highest ranked Contractor and directly award a Call-Off Contract to them, and so on for all named Framework Providers.
