Published justification

Unibox are the UK's largest manufacturer of LED

lightboxes, their technical capabilities and production

facilities along with a team that has the experience and

expertise needed to deliver high-quality solutions that

are engineered to perform according to individual

specifications.

They have worked closely with the Singh Twins; Amrit

and Rabindra to realise their artistic vision on a

number of past projects. By using a tried and trusted

company reduces the risks around working with other

LED display manufactures who are less familiar with

Amrit and Rabindras work and have no prior

experience of successfully helping them realise their

artworks

No reasonable alternative exists as no other supplier

has the prior technical capabilities and collaboration

with the artists to meet these requirements within the

project's timescales.
