The brief

We are looking to engage with suppliers of public address and voice alarm systems to help inform how we procure a replacement to our existing system at V&A South Kensington which has been in place since 2008 and is nearing end of life.

We want to hear from OEMs of these systems, as well as those that install and maintain them.

We are inviting potential suppliers to tell us their views by completing a short survey.

The purpose of this survey is to support our understanding of current market capability, supplier availability and potential delivery approaches, and to obtain insight into how identified project risks may be mitigated should we go out to tender.
