Notice Information
Notice Title
Lowestoft Town Hall - Audio Visual Supply and Installation.
Notice Description
Lowestoft Town Council is looking to engage a suitably experienced Contractor to specify, provide and install audio-visual systems throughout Lowestoft Town Hall, including in the historic Council Chamber, several meeting rooms and an events hall. The Grade II Lowestoft Town Hall is currently undergoing a major restoration project, and the appointed contractor will be required to liaise with the M&E subcontractors re setting out of cabling, and with the architectural team in terms of selection of equipment suitable for each location, including heritage settings, as well as specifying and supplying the necessary equipment for each location. All equipment must be easily operable by non-technical users, and variously will need to support videoconferencing, presentations, playing of music and broadcasting of meetings and ceremonies. Installation is likely to take place summer 2026, once the capital works are completed. Whilst high-quality performance is essential, at the same time, as a publicly funded project, cost-effectiveness and value for money will be key. An ongoing support and maintenance service may also form part of the service. To register your interest, and to receive a tender documentation pack that will include the high level user brief and RIBA4 drawings (which are subject to amendment dependent on the solutions provided), please email: admin@lowestofttowncouncil.gov.uk
