A Welsh purchasing-consortium has appointed Drake AV as preferred supplier for AV design and installation in higher education facilities.
The HEPCW (Higher Education Purchasing Consortium Wales) aims to cut
costs for its members with the appointment. Drake AV was put through
an elaborate competitive process to satisfy the consortium the appointment was
offering value for money, said Drake’s Ian Lewis.
Drake AV also
said it was the highest ranked supplier for AV hire and events
management to consortium members.
The three-year contract includes members of both
HEPCW and Value Wales. The two organisations cover almost all the
higher education and public bodies in Wales. The framework agreement covers design
and installation work for meeting rooms, classrooms, lecture theatres and new build projects.
