What is the purpose of this market consultation?
The purpose is to gather knowledge and experience from market parties to test ideas. The information provided may be used as input for a potential future procurement process to improve the quality of the contract documents or the request for quotation.
Which aspects of AV integration are central to the market exploration?

What requirements are set for the user experience during hybrid meetings?
Hardware requirements are being sought that guarantee an equivalent video and audio experience for both physical and remote participants, as well as advice on design principles such as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) versus fixed room systems.
Which suitability criteria are applied for the supply of AV equipment?
Experience with the supply of AV systems in public transport and a proven capacity for delivering screens, audiovisual equipment, and the associated services will be considered.
