The main reasons for the decision not to subdivide the contract into lots : Given the need for one supplier to coordinate the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning and programming of the AV Equipment required, the contract has not been subdivided into lots.

The supply, delivery, installation, commissioning and programming of AV equipment for IC7 needs to be completed by 22nd July 2022.

The contract will commence on 9th May 2022 and run until the completion date of 22nd July 2022 followed by a 12-month defects liability period. All equipment and labour are to be

covered by a 12-month minimum guarantee. Where the manufacturers guarantee for equipment extends beyond 1 year, you are to fulfil those obligations under that guarantee.

Contract period: 9 May 2022 – 22 Jul 2022 (2 mo)
