AV equipment supply, design and installation — from single-room projects to estate-wide rollouts.

How to procure through the framework

Getting started

If your organisation is eligible to use the Scotland Excel framework, get in touch with your requirement and we’ll confirm the correct call-off route for your procurement team. We’re happy to work directly with procurement, facilities or IT contacts to scope the project first.

Brand-agnostic

We recommend what’s right for the room, not what we’re tied to

We work directly with the major manufacturers across AV, unified comms, computing and network hardware — not locked into a single brand’s product line, so the specification is led by your requirement and budget rather than a sales target.

Proof it works

CASE STUDY · LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Falkirk Council: Upgrading Democracy

Procured through this same Scotland Excel framework, Falkirk Council’s Committee Chamber AV upgrade — wireless conference and electronic voting, auto-tracking cameras, and live streaming to YouTube — was delivered on time and on budget for a set of meetings the Council couldn’t postpone.

Read the case study

Falkirk’s own site visit checked the same combination we run for the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service — Vissonic wireless conference and voting, Avonic auto-tracking PTZ cameras, a dedicated DSP for streaming, and acoustic treatment throughout — before award. It’s a working example of what a Scotland Excel call-off actually delivers, from brief to commissioned system.
