- Ability to install audio visual systems
- Capacity to work on a call-off basis (work ordered as needed, not a fixed single project)
Key Tasks & Deliverables

- Install audio visual systems in government facilities
- Respond to call-off orders for AV work as requested by the buyer
- Ensure systems are tested and operational before handover
How to Read This Tender
- 1Understand 'call-off contract' — this means you're not doing one big project. Instead, you'll be on an approved supplier list and the government will order specific AV jobs from you over time. Budget and timescales vary by individual order.
- 2Look for the full tender documents and schedule — this notice is very brief. The detailed specifications, equipment lists, installation standards, and pricing framework will be in the full documentation.
- 3Check whether this is a framework agreement or a single call-off — if it's a framework, multiple suppliers may be selected and you'll compete on price/quality for each individual job.
- 4Pay attention to response times — call-off contracts often require fast turnaround. Check what lead times are expected for quotes, installation, and completion.
- 5Review any accreditation or insurance requirements — AV installation often requires specific certifications (e.g. for working at height, electrical safety) and public liability insurance will almost certainly be mandatory.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're too small to handle large jobs alone, consider partnering with another AV installer as a subcontractor or joint venture. Being on the approved list opens doors even if you outsource some work.
- Ask for the full specification and equipment list early — know exactly what brands/standards they expect. Some government contracts specify particular manufacturers or compatibility requirements that could affect your costs.
- Make sure your pricing structure is competitive but sustainable for call-off work. You may get small jobs with quick turnarounds, so factor in mobilisation costs and don't undercut so far you lose money on small orders.
