Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council is conducting a retender for the supply of Public Address (PA) and recording equipment for its Council and Development Management Committee meetings, which are primarily held at the Riviera International Conference Centre located in Torquay, South West England. The procurement is currently at the award stage following the completion of the previous tender process, which was unsuccessful due to submitted bids exceeding the approved budget. This open procurement process, with a total value of £57,000, has key deadlines including the tender period which ended on 3rd March 2017. The contract is set to commence on 12th April 2017 and will last until 10th April 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the telecommunications and audio-visual sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in PA and recording equipment, particularly those with experience in public sector contracts, are encouraged to participate. Given the retendering nature, organisations that can offer competitive pricing within the specified budget and demonstrate consistent quality in service delivery are likely to excel in this bidding process. Additional potential requirements for supplying similar equipment for other council functions may also arise during the contract period, enhancing growth prospects for successful bidders.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Retender of Supply of PA and Recording Equipment

Notice Description

Torbay Council requires the supply of PA and recording equipment for its Council meetings and Development Management Committee meetings which are currently held at the Riviera International Conference Centre, Chestnut Avenue, Torquay, TQ2 5LZ. The meetings may be held in alternative venues if required and equipment would be expected to be provided for these meetings. The Contract will be awarded as two Lots: Lot One: supply of PA and recording equipment to Council meetings; Lot Two: supply of PA and recording equipment to Development Management Committee meetings. There may or may not be an additional requirement during the Contract period, for supply of PA and/or recording equipment for any other Torbay Council functions (if required). This Retender opportunity follows on from the recent Request for Tender process which resulted in the Contract not being awarded, due to all submitted pricing exceeding the maximum spend threshold allowed for the Request for Tender process (over the maximum four year Contract period). Additionally all submitted pricing exceeded the Authority's approximate annual budget for this service. Full details of the requirements and revised details of the Authority's available maximum annual budget are contained in the Tender documents. Additional information: The tender documents are available in the 'Opportunities' area of www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk in read only format. Any organisation wishing to access the amendable versions of the tender documents and submit a bid, must first express their interest against this opportunity, to be able to do so.
