Television and radio broadcast transmission services

Description

The Broadcasting Unit at the Houses of Parliament is responsible for recording and streaming high quality pictures and audio of all proceedings taking place on the Parliamentary Estate, whether from within the House of Commons Chamber, the House of Lords Chamber, Westminster Hall, Lords Grand Committee or any of the many Committee Rooms. Increasingly there is also a desire for House of Commons Committees—groups of MPs which meet in Westminster and across the UK to discuss a range of issues—to be able to record and livestream proceedings of public evidence sessions which are held away from the Parliamentary Estate in Westminster. This framework is to supply technical facilities and operators to provide visual and audio coverage of these meetings. The framework is divided into regional Lots and will be for a duration of 2 years, with the option to extend for 2 further 1-year periods.
