Pre Market Engagement for an Updated Conferencing System within the Council Chamber and Committee rooms

Description

Bridgend County Borough Council is looking to explore innovation in the marketplace ahead of the procurement of updated conferencing systems within the Council Chamber and Committee rooms. The essential aim of the new systems will be to facilitate effective hybrid meetings and future sustainability, via a whole system approach, in line with the requirements of the Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act 2021. Both systems need to enable seamless hybrid meetings (in-person + remote), ensure accessibility and inclusivity, provide high-quality audio-visual experience for all participants and both record and live stream public meetings. The Chamber system also needs to support transparent decision-making with real-time integrated voting.
