BUYER GUIDE

How to choose a audio system integrator in Cambridge

Eight criteria most procurement and facilities leads use when shortlisting AV partners for audio system. Strive AV passes all eight.

Locally-based engineering presence

A Cambridge-area engineer reaches site the same day. A supplier driving from a distant base does not.

Strive AV: Engineering team based in Cambridge

Independent ISO certifications

ISO 27001 (info security), 9001 (quality) and 14001 (environmental) are the minimum bar for any regulated-sector buyer.

Strive AV: Certified to ISO 27001, 9001, 14001 and 45001

Public-sector framework supplier

Crown Commercial Service supplier status removes the procurement risk for public-sector buyers and works for many corporate buyers too.

Strive AV: Crown Commercial Service supplier

AVIXA member

AVIXA is the global trade body for AV integration. Membership signals adherence to standards procurement teams can verify independently.

Strive AV: AVIXA member since founding (1999)

Audio Systems specialism

Look for an integrator with documented audio system deployments at the scale you're commissioning, not generic AV experience repackaged.

Strive AV: Documented audio system case studies, certified hardware partner

Fixed-price quoting after a free survey

Anything else is a budget-creep risk. The site survey, design and fixed quote should be at no charge.

Strive AV: Free Cambridge site survey, fixed-price proposal

Ongoing SLA-backed support

AV is a multi-year commitment. Confirm 24/7 helpdesk, remote monitoring and on-site response SLAs are in scope, not a separate vendor.

Strive AV: 24/7 manned helpdesk, on-site engineers

27 years of trading history

Founded 1999. Long-trading suppliers carry installation backlogs and warranty obligations honoured across that time, which short-trading suppliers cannot.
