The procurement process, backed by a grant from Arts Council England, involves investment in sound and lighting equipment for the Brighton Dome Concert Hall to replace outdated assets, thereby maintaining high production standards and reducing operational risks. Interested parties have until 19th June 2026 to submit their tenders. The tender is divided into two lots, allowing for submissions on either lighting or audio equipment. The installation of the equipment is scheduled for January 2027 within the South East region of the United Kingdom.
