# Pre-market engagement for a mass communication system

Pembrokeshire College is seeking market input on options for a modern mass communication system across its Haverfordwest site, which has three main buildings and about 22,000 square metres of floor area. This is pre-market engagement, not a call for competition or a commitment to procure. The College says interested parties should email the named contact to request the response template and upload a response through the Sell2Wales postbox. The notice conflicts on the closing time: the description says noon on 20 October 2026, while the structured due-date field says 23:59. The estimated value is GBP 80,000 excluding VAT.
