For decision-makers and subscribers
You’re responsible for facilities, learning environments, meeting or event technology – but you’re not necessarily an AV expert. AVITA can help you make your AV procurement manageable and informed: articulate your needs, plan the whole package and tender solutions so that the end result works for users and lasts.
Plan your AV project right from the start
A successful AV purchase starts with a need, not a list of equipment. AVITA’s materials help to illustrate,
who the users are
the situations in which the facilities and technology are used
the quality and flexibility needed
how to fit investment and maintenance into the budget.
Once these are defined, it’s easier to request bids for solutions that support the organisation’s operations – not just fill a random feature list.
Tools for writing a smart invitation to tender
In public and large-scale procurement, the invitation to tender makes a big difference. AVITA’s Quality Guidelines and Public Procurement Guidelines help you make a tender that is:
clear and comparable between different providers
technically accurate enough, but not unnecessarily restrictive of competition
support the principles of fairness and non-discrimination in procurement law
taking into account life-cycle costs and maintenance.
This avoids over-investment or misallocation – and reduces the risk of complaints.
Experts to support you at all stages of the project
Buying an AV doesn’t have to be a solo act. AVITA members include designers, integrators, importers, contractors and event technology experts who know the industry and can turn your needs into a workable solution.
On the Members page, you can see what kind of expertise the network has – and an extensive company and importer directory is being added to the site to make it even easier to find suitable partners in the future.
